This has always been the problem with the twins class, instead of making a better bike they just make them bigger, it is effin bullshit. When honda was gettin their ass handed to them by ducati what did they do, they built a 1000cc twin to kick ducatis ass. They did not make there 750 four into a 900 or some shit and then bitch and complain to get the rules changed they beat them with in the rules.
Bartholomew,

honda barely, barely, won 2 wsbk titles, one title only because haga tested positve for drugs and edwards took it, and the other title was down to the last race and a winner take all between edwards and bayliss, pretty close racing when a wsbk title is determined at the very last race of the season and two riders are tied for points. Hardly the asskicking your talking about not sure what racing you were watching but honda never dominated the ducati. and if you talking about the one year that hayden won in ama, i seem to recall it was only due to consistentency because mladin made some mistakes and the ducati effort was not "factory" backed at all, with gobert riding "when he showed up to the races" for ducati austin out of texas which was a very limited race program.

The way i see it is honda gave up on their twin just like suzuki because they couldn't keep up with ducati even when ducatis were 1000cc.

Sounds like we just need to divide up the twins into 40 freakin groups.
