unfourtunatly to be competative with the japs and ducs you need to copy them...ever see a sucessful superbike that looked differant? it's like formula 1. all the cars kinda look the same and sound the same because that is the design that wins. no one would try to build a front wheel drive F1 car with a boxer motor because it would get it's ass handed to it by current designs. super bike racing is sadly the same way. i think that was what DMG was trying to get away from with thier daytona superbikes idea....too bad the japs have so much invested in thier current race bikes that it would be a cold day in hell before they gave that up.

remeber the japs have a 30 year development head start over any bike company just entering racing for the first time.
