If they are using WSBK to sell their bikes the desmo's higher rev limit could give them an advantage. When MotoGP were considering a rev limit Ducati were opposed because sans pneumatic valves they had an edge.
If Ducati enter a V4 in SBK I take it they lose their capacity advantage? I see the ones at Psychospot are 1103cc (and between $34,000 and $70,000).
