| Interesting question!
Our prize was intendeded for those competitors who are perhaps just starting out in racing and are doing it on a basically standard machine.
As it looks likely that the overall winner will be on a tuned and probably enlarged engine, we thought that this would encourage the 'B' teams.
Therefore it must be the 80mm bore x 57.8mm stroke that = 583cc, t5his of course means the older and cheaper SS/Monster range.
We are fully aware that such a machine fitted with the larger bores will be impossible to identify it as such by a visual external examination, but we are sure that every body who sits on, never mind rides a Ducati, is above such tactics!.
We would leave it up to the organisers to take whatever investigative action they deemed appropriate. should some one be suspected of flouting this stipulation of our prize.
I hope that explains all. |
