Wasn't this a similar arguement they used a few years ago when they were allowed 1000cc's and all the inline 4's had to be 750cc.
I am not anti Ducati but think that they should just get on with it and if they can't compete with what they have got then develop a newer more powerful engine :P
Ducati have had there own way for to long, they are now a multi national company and have shown with the Moto Gp programme that they are not to far behind the japs( but they are still behind)
WSB wasn't started to be a rolling ducati advert or a one make event and the powers that be shouldn't let Ducati take it down that road.
