Default Mladin wins...But is he legal?

http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/...?article=33771

Did Yosh Suzuki use a special crankshaft? Did Ben's bike have one too? Have they been legal all season? Would they be any slower with a stock crank? Who cares?

It has been a matter of time - Suzuki has been riding with unobtainium for years.

I was at the races and his bike DID sound different than the other bikes...even the other Suzuki's...one of the guys we were with mentioned it and then we started listening for the difference and it was evident.

That doesn't mean he cheated BUT it's funny that this came out after us noticing the difference in sound from the other Suzuki's.

Maybe it was just his exhaust ?

Or the fact that when Aaron Yates GSXR goes by it is always dragging hard parts or crashing?

I believe ALL of the Rockstar-Makita Suzuki's are running Yosh R-77 full systems. They switched from the TRC's this year.
