Also, banning rider aids is a must - otherwise they might as well run the machines by remote computer control.

Rider aids are very useful on the road, but in a premier class of racing it should all be about the riders on fast machines. That doesn't mean there are not areas on the engine/suspension/chassie that can be further deveolped.Zoidberg wrote:Isn't this contradictory to the your first part?
