Some might, some not. I dont think it's fair to assume the worst without proof. Do you ?

I try not to assume anything, but it is certainly possible and well worth contemplating. For me I'll put it in the "could well be, but I doubt if we'll ever know for sure" category!

good news

paul denning hints in a live interview that their problem is that it isn't decided whether they will be able to have two bikes

they will test the 800cc on monday and he said hes sure suzuki will be there in 2012

Probably not a bad move, will be faster than CRT, and right about the same position behind other factory teams .

An old Suzuki is better than no Suzuki - hopefully they can get 1000 developed for 2013, even if it enters under CRT rules.

Let's say that if they do begin the year with the 800. Can they bore it out a little to increase capacity (i.e. 880cc) or are their regulations against them being able to do that?

81mm bore limit i guess, they can do what they want up until that point

I just read Julian Ryder's article. Anyone know what he meant by the last few sentences?

"I don't know if those facts are connected with the Japanese engineer who gave the bulk of the talk tonight using the f word, a first for a Japanese factory press conference in my experience.

Apparently the gent in question (I won't give his name) worked in the Midlands of the UK for a few years. That explains it."

Who is the gent in question?
