Does anyone else make a triple that falls into that category? To me it
sounds like Triumph wants to go racing and needed a rule change. It doesn't
seem like the FIM would have made a change unless someone was prompting
them too. If Triumph is serious about the Daytona which their recent update
indicates, maybe they're ready to test the "What wins on Sunday, sells on
Monday" theory.

Let's hope we'll soon see Triumph Daytona's in world superbike.
