Dynamic displacement is equal
What is ignorant, I won't call it retarded cause that might offend the mentally challenged, no it is ignorant to judge engine performance solely on displacement.
How about we let 600cc 2-strokes in on the class then?
There is a measure of engine capability know as dynamic displacement which equals displacement times rev-limit in rpm.
For the new R6 we have...
0.6L*17,500rpm=10,500L/min
For the XBRR we have...
1.34L*8,500rpm=11,390L/min
Then consider that the Buell mill has half the number of cylinders and throttle bodies, one fourth the number of valves, and is air-cooled.
Pretty darn even.
Afraid of some American competition?
How can it possibly be bad to have more diversity in racing? I sure hope Ducati fields a 749R in the series this year. They were darn competitive when they did so in 2004 for a limited number of races.
Ignorance is sucky. Don't be sucky.
