Would you like me to explain (again) why twins don't make as much power as I4's of the same size and never will?

Well then maybe they shouldn't race instead of expecting the sanctioning body to make special rules for them. Listen to you make excuses for them. This would be like breaking all the other runner's legs so cripples could be competitive in the Boston marathon. This is forcing coaches to take slow,fat kids that can't hit on the baseball team. This is forcing Toyota to put what is basically a Chevy motor in their cars to be allowed to compete in NASCAR because their engines were too light and made too much power. Everyone should get a chance to play... no they shouldn't.
Why not have Buell and everyone else actually produce a bike that is competitive. Just because your company is too fucking stupid or mired in tradition to make a modern motorcycle engine... but see here's where the V-Twin faithful lavish praise on their superior design and exceptional power delivery. You can't have it both ways. Either your bikes/engines suck and require concessions to be able to compete or they are outstanding examples of engineering and motorcycle excellence that should be able to compete on their own merit. You know when Honda had that 250cc advantage in AMA Superbike it was pathetic BUT at least it wasn't an almost DOUBLE displacement advantage! Yeesh!
