So here we go, DMG setup the Daytona superbike series available to just about every manufactures. But keep in mind, this is the supposely support series to AMA superbike series (but DMG really wants to make it the main event), so this is not where the manufactures would like most of their money to be spent.
The concept of many different brands and models compete in the same series is good, but you have to keep the cost of racing down as much as possible. All the brands like Japs big 4, Ducati, Aprilia, BMW etc., they want to mostly focus their racing efforts at the top of class racing, in this situation "Superbike". On top of that, Daytona superbike is a weird class of its own. Its not breeding ground to superbike, since AMA superbike is really superstock spec now. So its really a series that can only be supported by US efforts only, and thats privateers league, therefore cost of racing is gonna be a huge concern, and this is where reliability and modifications are major money factors.
Now you got Honda out of it, because Honda don't see the point doing it. So if all Yamaha and Suzuki pulls out later, what you got yourself is Buell 1125 series. Never mind the other Italians, if they do enter the series, it will still be under funded efforts to make any impact. And maybe thats also the reason the Italians don't wanna do it.
And yes, I watched Daytona superbike series, but not every race, since I can't fucking figure out when its televised. But having Buell 1125 winning the championship with many bad results, and knowing the Buell 1125 already have displacement advantage, it doesn't sound fair at all. And like I said, you can only do so much mods to a 600cc bike, at the end its not gonna run like bike with bigger displacement.
Now, the new Buell 1125RR racing version will enter 2010 DMG superbike series, thats where DMG bent the rules for Buell, while Suzuki wasn't allowed, so explain to me again where the fair game? Is this gonna carry on to other DMG series as well?
