Marc,
If only that were the case. Remember, in MotoGP, the displacement is 
fixed.  The different cylinder configurations used to change the max 
allowable weight, but I don't know if that's the case anymore, since it 
seems that everyone is running four cylinders.  The only variation in 
engine seems to be V-four vs inline.
Congrats to Triumph for making something that competitive, and for the 
teams for having the balls to put them on the grid!

Dan
