Personally I think that those decisions were a load of crap, but I can't hold that against Buell; this wasn't a factory race team, it was privateers taking a bike and competing with it. It is also hard to blame the teams, I mean you go, you race, if the rules give you an advantage you take it. It looks like DMG was simply aiming for a misguided ideal of putting an American bike in a winning position.
True... but racing your 1125 against their 600 is not good marketing because its a hard sell when
prospective customers see they become equal in performance... like double the size does not
equal greater performance... I think it is one of the reasons why Buell had to shut down
production which brought on his demise...
