I am not sure it needs checking. If there is to be a random dyno testing session at one of the rounds we will see if anyone has too much go in their motor. At that point it can be decided what to do with that bike.
Also, if Nog starts winning every round by half a lap we might look into it.......
In all seriousness though, I doubt we should be too bothered by anyone else's bike. I have checked mine to see it is as close to the 53bhp limit as possible for the following reason: I do not have the skill to take apart the engine, so this was the easiest way of me checking to see there was no outragous power. If the bike had been obviously over the 53bhp I would have had someone look at it to check there was nothing illegal (Not easy to know on a bike raced by 2 different owners). I suggest scrutineering works the same.... all bikes, or any suspected of too much power, are tested on a dyno at one of the rounds.
As for the money aspect, I do not see the argument. If you have a bike as close to the power and weight limits as possible, realistically no other rider can have a faster bike than you regardless of the money spent. As I have said before (and others on here have said), the top finishers could finish top on 70% of the bikes on the grid.
