Whether the factories are willing to accept such limitations remain to be seen. With Suzuki coming back, Ducati likely to accept the proposals and BMW seriously considering the series, Carmelo Ezpeleta may be willing to risk gambling that the Japanese factory threats to walk are just posturing. It is a big gamble to take. Unless they actually specify standardized code, the money that the front-running teams won't be spending on electronics hardware will simply go to the software consultants who will spend twice as much time writing exponentially more complicated code to get the spec ECU to do what the high-dollar stuff used to do. AMA just released a set of rules designed to try to rein in expensive electronics in Superbike.
