Edit: The 1000cc I4s weren't even allowed in 02 it seems..

http://www.bcsportbikes.com/forum/ar...hp/t-7646.html I know it's not quite a technical source, but it's a list for the 03 rules, and it seems the 1000s were being introduced that year.

Soooo.. Honda wouldn't have been allowed to race the 954 when Nicky won the championship.

ahh ok... thanks.

ok... not the first time I was wrong... thanks for clear'n it up though
