Kinda blows.

Suzuki: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Apr/080415-brea.htm Yamaha: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Apr/080416a.htm One of the reasons why our bikes and tires are so good is because of direct development at the race track. This whole NASCAR style of marketing in the direction of spec tires and fuel and taking the empasis away from the platform is just going to suck. Say goodbye to better production bikes under this new structure. I think Suzuki's response by far is the most telling. I think that it's pretty much the same way that Kawasaki and Honda would respond. Field a 4-man team in a superbike support Class? Madness. They basically telling the manufacturers that they can race their flagship product but it's not going to get top billing as a premier class and they'd have to field a 4 rider team. Well Suzi and Honda teams could probably afford to do it but that's going to shut out Kawi and Yamaha, not to mention Ducati that was trying to get a team in the back in the Superbike class. Then you go back to the Superbike series being Yoshimura 1 and 2 anyway. The rumors are circulating the boards now that premier class Daytona Superbikes will have a 130hp limit which is pretty anemic. If this goes through I predict a manufacturers and riders bailing to WSB and BSB. |
