Bill May correct me if I'm wrong. The provision for experimental engines was written mostly for that nasty old BMW motor and perhaps larger cc quick change cars. could that also include a few old 1200cc cars that are still running. When they fade into the great land of expired motors the 1000cc motors would be a much cheaper motor to replace than that hard to find big motor, and we might find a few more cars to make a race with.

I apologize for helping to spread rumors about certain motors, but we have to expect these motors to keep on getting more powerful every year that is how they sell bikes that people buy and wreck thus furnishing us with inexpensive power plants for our race cars. Even at $5000.00 for a stock motor that is still a whole lot cheaper than an E Mod motor.

Motor prices went up mostly because of the tsunami and small number of units importede to the USA in the last few years. Might also have something to do with the number of people that can afford to buy a $12000.00 bike in these economic time that we seem to be stuck with.

We all need to do a little soul searching to keep our sport alive and growing for the next few years.
