Thanks for the info.

My comments are only for discussion>>>What if we did this what would happen? What if we did that would it be any different? Well we have done it this way for forty years why change. I do not want change for the sake of change>>>But some change ever so often is nice>>>you are the guy working on Yamaha's as an alternative to the Honda. It sounds like a great idea to me, but during your development time motor design has changed again, I do not see anything wrong with that either. I am also for moving on as designs change. I bought a 1969 750 Honda Motorcycle in 1970, the serial number on the frame was like 650 something, it had broke a chain and threw it through the block. I repaired it and it was the fastest motorcycle around for a year or two. But I think Kawasaki or Yamaha came out with something bigger and faster, that is the way things work.

This topic started out about the fear several racers felt about the then new BMW 1000cc motor being used and it making them uncompetitive:::SO>WHAT life goes on. To ban it from competition would be what country's call protectionism. That word "SUCKS" if we had protectionism in Medicine you and me would both be 6 feet under. The only thing it is good for is the halt of invention. When we stop learning or getting better we start Dying from decay within.

I do not intend to bash TQ's or any other class of racing, all of them have merit. I throw stuff out and people respond>>>>I like that >>>>It keeps both me and them thinking and thinking is a good thing. I gave a friend of mine a link to a song that I guess I have always carried around in my head here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaPTweZ2_fI
