PSG-1 Kawasaki rider Chris Walker and Klaffi Honda team boss Klaus Klaffenbock are both struggling to understand why Ducati need an extra 200cc of engine capacity relative to their four-cylinder rivals.
Ducati are rumoured to be planning a mass produced 1200cc Superbike - in order to match the showroom performance of the 1000cc four-cylinders produced by the likes of Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki - and a recent statement by WSBK organiser's FGSport suggested that any such '(capacity) changes should be mirrored in the Superbike World Championship technical regulations.'
However, with Ducati currently comfortably leading both the World (Troy Bayliss) and British (Gregorio Lavilla) Superbike championships many - Walker and Klaffenbock included - find the prospect of 1200cc twin-cylinders a little unnecessary.
