WCM is actually a modified R1. They took a stock R1 and modified the crap out of it, its actually quite interesting to see how far can an R1 be modified.
They tried to race a bike with a modified R1 engine - but were not allowed. This is because bikes in MotoGP must be prototypes (i.e. not allowed to use anything from current production bikes).
Sorry, you're right. Just before I wrote that I had just read a personal account of a guy who had seen his buddy bore his bike and himself into the radiator of a van last weekend... A horrible story with a fatal outcome, the sort we all dread to read or hear...
Anyway, at that moment I couldn't see the humor in the post about racing on the street... Take care.
Any bets on how long it will take Biaggi to complain that his bike isn't competitive?
