i bet they would run a different engine for him if so desired.. but i also bet that 2 years more development might = a more rideable screamer.  

i thought Preziosi's comments a while back re why he couldn't understand why the screamer was much different, if at all, to the riders was really interesting.

And how do you think the displacement change plays into that? IIRC, most of the 990s used long bang (or in Ducati's case Twin Pulse) because of the rideability factor. The power loss from that configuration seems to be mitigated by the extra displacement, no?

IIRC, only the satellite teams were allowed to move back to the bigger bikes for 2012.  Was that correct, or did I slip off into the twilight zone somewhere?

I think there are two factors here:
1) Claiming Rule Teams, based on 1000cc street motors.
2) A return to 1000cc for prototypes, with a stroke restriction.

I don't recall exactly how those played out in Dorna's final rulebook.

they can all use 1000s; there are injector or some other restrictions for the factory bikes that i'm too lazy to look up.  OR they can run the 800s as is/as will be in 2012.  but *all the factories are busy building brand new 1000s.  i don't think there will be any 800s on the grid in 2012, unless maybe some latvian team hires gary mccoy, etc.


*all as in yamaha and ducati.  i haven't heard anything about honda, but you know they have to be doing the same.  suzi no county.

no mention of the 'or 800s'.. maybe that part of the proposal got abandoned.  and it's an 81 mm bore limit.

Not the first time that has been tried if my memory serves.  I think Hayden tried them, but then dropped them.
