Here's how i see it:
Agree Rambo, the GP's should've stayed 500cc two stroke.
The only reason the 4 cylinder 750s weren't competitive in 01 & 02 is because Suzuki and Kawasaki didn't put in the same effort that those with the twins were. Honda were competitive with the RC45, and Haga on the Yamaha nearly won it in 2000, there was no unfair advantage, just that the one's doing a serious job had the twins. Kawasaki still had the same bloody bike they had in 1996!
The same is happening this year, Suzuki buggered it up for themselves. They were the one's who decided what, 3 weeks before Valencia, that they would afterall race, and that rather than build a race bike up from scratch, lets just let them convert a roadbike, and we'll only back one rider to start with (ok they added a second bike, but it's only a kitted one).
My tip to save the thing - keep the restrictors on the 4 cylinders, and make a rule that all bikes must be kitted bikes, not factory built race bikes.
