Would be news to me. It was well published that the organizers wanted a 1000cc rule in 2012 with less rider aids/electronics. Possibly modified production engines in prototype chassis to run alongside the more expensive bikes. Trying to fill a grid I suppose.

Last I heard it was a hybrid rule where existing teams could campaign the current stuff or move up and privateers could form new crt teams with production based 1000cc power plants. Which is where that mutant s1krr suter came from.

Part I hate is there's some very anti honda wording in the rules.

Well Honda has always lobbied for rules changes that benefitted them or the direction they were ready to pursue. Perhaps this is a way to convince the other manus that they wont get pushed out like in GP2 and GP3?
