Any privateer on a Desmosedici would still get their ass kicked by Yoshimura Suzuki. You can't leave all the rider skill and team knowledge out of the equation. If winning was a simple as buying a particular bike, Jordan would have a fleet of them.
Any strap for cash privateer maybe but Michael Jordan is a 10 billion dollar
privateer and can handle astronomical expenses if he thinks he can win...

"Financially, if you can buy it, I feel like I would buy it. But in some ways
you can't. Trying to get certain parts the factory players may have, you
got to rely on the factory guys to give them to you or let you purchase
them. It's a different business", he adds shaking his head about the AMA
version of fair racing. "Nobody want to play a game you know you can't
win"
He's not opposed, he says, to the idea of taking over a factory team, were
Ducati or some other manufacture to return to the AMA paddock.
Quote MJ
"I think Suzuki is a great marriage... we had a great relationship with them.
We push for more. They know we're pushing for more. And sooner or later ,
it's going to happen--hopefully with Suzuki. If not, I'm not afraid to go
with a winner. Wherever I can win, I'm going."
I believe after his test hop on Ducati's MotoGp V4 wonder I think MJ knows
here is a serious candidate to rival the pedestrian GSXR...
I can't wait for the first test between all the current open class motors of death
and the new Ducati D16RR V4...
