My thoughts exactly when I first read about it, but Bloo Duke is too powerful. They've got a maximum power to weight ratio limit, so the bike has to weigh at least 4 pounds per horsepower. The maximum power any bike can have is listed as:

125 kg 68.91 hp
130 kg 71.66 hp
135 kg 74.42 hp
140 kg 77.18 hp
145 kg 79.93 hp
150 kg 82.69 hp
155 kg 85.44 hp
160 kg 88.20 hp
165 kg 90.96 hp
170 kg 93.71 hp
175 kg 96.47 hp

So, Bloo Duke at 175kg and 101 bhp would have to be detuned slightly or be excluded.

A standard 1000 SS at Ducati's quoted figures of 180 Kg and 95 Bhp would be pretty much on the money wouldn't you think?
