The rumour mill is turning fast.

Well it was only California that banned them and they just burnt to the ground, what great timing to rise from the ashes.

Makes sense when you think of cheaper manufacturing, easier maintenance and more power to weight ratio.
Plus the massive advances in rider aids would make them more appealing to the masses.
Just imagine what sort of variable port size/ timing customisation you could have with modern serves and electronics.

very interesting! I hope they are new ground up designs with balance shafts and fuel injection.
