This is just plain idiotic! Knock them all back down to 600 lbs like it used to be.
Also, now that they've all got to weigh the same they need to even out the cubic inches too.
So how much did the Suzuki's have to add?

Good question!
Before this change, what were the weight requirements for each manufacture-Anyone have that off hand?
5lbs. for Harley's and Suzuki's and 5Lbs removed from the Buell's.
Thanks Bob!
Weight is even now. But would it be fair to say that Buells may have a slight advantage? If there is an advantage I would base it on Matt Smith's previous passes?
Suzuki's and Harley's were 615 and the Buells were 625 now they are all at 620.
I agree - 6.90 will get blown away even with the 620#'s.They are going to past 6.90 you watch!
It's funny Angelle gets the first 6.80's and then they make sure she holds on to the record at least for a little while!

And not that I am huge Angelle fan or anything, but what did you want them to do? Enforce a rule change in the middle of the race so that she couldn't run a backup? She had the performance this weekend plain and simple. Next weekend it's gonna be Matt Smith probably - but that will be fine?
Or perhaps you are just saying the change gives her security? I really don't know - that's why I ask.
I really have a hard time following the mentality on here sometimes. People are so quick to bash, you know.
