I didn't read that couldn't be raced in that article.

I was wondering what happened to the BMS team, can't remember where Marty went to though.

I wonder how much they'd charge for a "DMF" logo? Grin

ducati can still use their low-production homologation allowance (which is 400, iirc... i'd have to look it up and don't have the pdf handy).

ducati evidently didn't bother submitting them for homologation since they weren't going to be allowed to race 'em. don't forget, the 1200cc allowance was a last-minute rule addition.
