If thats the case, why dont they claim all as production spec?
Can a manufacturer enter as "production" without a "factory" effort?

The big question IS will the non-MSMA teams get to use the softer option Bridgestone. This will be the performance leveling decision of the off-season.
Like any other rule, it will depend on the League's (Dorna's) calculations.

Good question, so far the answer is yes, But putting things in perspective, MM can pretty much do what Stoner did, so he could probably lap the production racer within .3 of his factory bike without the soft tyre, which means he would have taken pole on it today, Nicky will podium this bike, and I will put money on it.

I'm sure there are some on here who will take you up on that offer. I would only caution that 'natural talents' like Stoner can make any bike go quick (except for my old Honda CB125T)

Are you saying the MM isn't a natural talent?

I'm reserving my judgement until next season.

Nah, not buying it. cant see it being that quick, thats fantasy. I hope you're right though. I would love to have a bet with you, but being a trainee Krishna devotee i'm not permitted to bet.

The Insider will be crawling back Inside the arsehole he emerged from come tue at 4:00 Valencia time

Funny, I was told that a lot in this thread, Casey's best laps on the proddy were .3 behind his best lap on the factory bike without the soft tyre, what is there not to buy.

But you don't know the lap times of next years factory bikes. You seem to be laying all your faith on a couple of laps at one particular tract on a particular day. If only it were that easy ! Next year will be the proof, when we see proper comparisons .,
By the way, it has not gone un-noticed you have ignored every question i have asked in this thread !

You're quoting a 0.3 from a test and stating that would have put MM on poll. How do you figure when we have no idea what the time difference would have been at valencia? I take it the test times were from Motegi ?? excuse my ignorance as i dont often follow testing. One thing i do know is those two tracks are very different so any time difference could not be compared.
As for questions, i asked some about valve train but these are now talked of in the media, so too tate for your insider info. The other was regarding why the HRC promo pic shows the bike with Ohlins when you stated is would have Showa from Bautistas bike ?
