That's what I thought, too. I believe a few years ago the regs favoured the twin cylinders, hence Honda's decision to "out-Ducati" Ducati with the development of their V-twins. The irony of Ducati taking the championship with a V4 this year seems to be lost on many folk, though.

Is there a different regulation regarding the restrictors in current GP1?
They're all 800cc 4 cylinders, where the desmodromic system seems to be working rather nicely in Stoner's bike...
