Then again, the obvious question is how much will the 1000s be handicapped by the increased minimum weight and those air restrictors?
If they aren't too handicapped, Ducati's days using 1000 V-Twins are numbered. One can't use BSB as a template. There, you're seeing fully developed Ducks against hastily thrown together 1000cc streetbikes. Let's wait until the full focus and R&D weight of the factories are behind things such as Honda's 1000cc V4, Yamaha's homologation special R1, etc...
Once the tire companies catch up, it'll be all over. Since GP1 has already made the tire companies have to deal with 210 hp, even this issue will be moot.
Besides, look at what Honda's brand spanking new 990cc four stroke is doing in GP1 already, against the bike (NSR500) that was already the best race bike on earth.
Once Honda is allowed to throw their $$ at a 1000cc V4 Superbike, it'll be all over for Ducati...
Bare minimum, V-Twins will soon have to be allowed major handicaps, just like in '88 when the entire WSB series was set up in such a way as to give Ducati a chance.
If the fours are allowed to run unfettered and at an equal weight with the Twins then it's good night now for the twins.
On the bright side for V-Twin fans, hey, now you have a great excuse for wifey as to why you simply HAVE to buy that RC51 or Mille that you've been looking at, since they're now destined to be collector's items!
