<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mylexicon @ Nov 20 2008, 02:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>In my mind, this is just another case of the FIM banning another useful technology for the production market, I'm don't think it is motivated by politics.
The FIM have said "no" to oval pistons and electronic suspension (both of which would be significant developments for the production market), but "yes" to pneumatic valves and gps traction control?
Who is in charge of this mess and why in God's name are they banning the useful stuff while they allow utter crap to take over the sport?
I've had the same thought for a while, what is the rational behind some of these absurd decisions?
BTW Keshav, where did the original quote come from?
