Quote:why is the cross plane stuck in the R1 and didnt make it to the other motors? the arent racing with 1k ccs anymore. at least not in the levels that the crank was developed. so the underpowered cross plane and the oil sipping RR are the remaining examples of racing technology.That's because none of the other manufacturers are racing with that design. All of the other GP bikes are V4's, and for now everyone but Aprilia has decided a V4 would make their 1000 cc supersport too expensive.
As for racing tech, 5 out of the 7 supersport 1000's have traction control, what more do you want?
