Effing sweet : )...

"When we were talking to Jeremy (McWilliams) and some of the other test riders, I sat down with him and looked him in the eyes and said, ‘Okay, Jeremy, if some magic happens and we go World Superbike, what do we need?’ And he said, ‘Nothing but power, Erik.’ I said, ‘Okay, that’s what I wanted to hear.’"

"And working with Rotax was really cool –they’re very good, cool guys. Actually, the lead guy on this project is a guy who did his internship at Buell – he worked at Buell for about three years, a German kid who went back to Europe and went to work for Rotax. "

Man, that's cool!

You don't really think they're going to reengineer that engine for another 75cc, do you?

Reengineer....no....resleave maybe. If the CC limit on Superbike is now 1200cc I'm sure we will see a "BIG BORE KIT" coming soon.

I'm sorry, they never talk about future projects.

From what I understand, this engine isn't sleeved, it is nicasil plated. No iron liners in there.
