What is up with Daytona Superbike, or whatever its called? I can see where they let the Japanese inline-4's and the Ducati 848 race eachother. Thats pretty equal competition, as seen in last years Formula Extreme. But how are they letting the Buell 1125R and Aprillia RSV race in the same class? They are both liquid cooled twins like the Duc, but with huge displacement advantages. Does DMG want an American manufacturer to win that bad? Or are they just giving Buell and Aprillia a handicap? And I believe even the GSX-R 750 is allowed to race in this series.

I understand the added weight required for the extra displacement, but will it be enough for the smaller bikes to even out the playing field?
It might be exciting, if they have gotten the weight/horsepower limits right. Especially to get all those bikes on the track at the same time, running close lap times.
But we will just have to see...
