Fellas....they need a class to race in. Anything over 600cc will have to be a triple or a V-Twin.

Unless of course they bring back the 750 class.

And race what Ed? The Ducati 848 (or whatever) can barely hang with the 600s now. Personally, I think that the OEMs made the right choice. A 750 cost way too close to the same price as a 1000, weighed within a few pounds, insured close to the same, etc...what was the point? Besides, Suzuki had that crap on lock, boy!!! Heck, even MotoGp is going back to 1000s...

Other 750's. Honda Yammi and Kawi would all have to bring back the mighty 750. They are actually closer to a 600 than a 1K. On the GSXR they are identical except the displacement. They are very different than the 1K.

Because people generally buy 600s for sport touring.

BMW has also said, in the past, that they would never build a supersport to compete with the japanese.
