Yes, Kawasaki will be looking at how they can protest it.

Interesting what he said about the early moto gp bikes having less than 230bhp.

I think when it comes to the R spec bikes they make as many as they need to? I believe the only limited run Panigales are the superleggera's and other special editions.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

At least 500 units in the year of homologation and cost less than €40k.

I really don't think they will struggle to sell 500 R's worldwide given those specs
