Currently, the Twin is much more tuned than the Four. There is a higher degree of freedom, and this makes the current Twin, the 1000cc in race trim, still reasonably competitive with the Four. And what we are discussing and proposing is that we exchange that with the increase of capacity, and with the increase of capacity, we take the occasion to have the unique set of rules, having both the Four and the Twin with the same low level of tuning. In our opinion, a 1200cc Twin will be very similar in performance on the racetrack to a 1000cc Four, but if this is would not be the case, for whatever reason, we are already discussing with the Federation, we are available to talk about a performance handicap, either it is air restrictor or the weight. But we suggested that, and we are discussing, in order that the performance and the cap is kind of with an adjustable mechanism. In order that every three or four races, or whatever, with a mechanism which is agreed by everybody before starting, you can compare the performance, average performance, of the Twins, against the average performance of the Four, and if it's too much, you adjust the balance. In one direction or the other.
Ducati wants what Ducati allways wants,A performance advantage
still reasonably competitive with the Four.[ Still winning races]

He says himself a 1200 V Twin will be similar in performance,not equal,but similar.And they are already are dicussing how to restrict the 1200 when it come out and dominates.So again they will fall into the different set of rules that this was supposed to eliminate.
