The dynamic is seriously different now tho. With a control ECU and no Saturday night specials, Honda needs to evolve their approach for making a competitive machine. Like Ducati, they need some new blood in R&D.
Their engine is out-dueling Mercedss in F1 at the moment. If they hand that over to Red Bull or whatever they should have plenty of engineering resources to throw at motogp starting next season. I think trying to run a bike designed to be tamed by much more sophisticated electronics is exactly the problem. Unlike Ducati they will design a new engine if necessary though, iirc they built a V twin just to win WSBK.
