If Aprilia (or another manufacturer) are found to be offering too much assistance then they can be re-classified a MSMA bike and not a CRT bike and the regulations for them change. But what constitutes too much assistance? For me, just create a single set of basic engine rules with the same amount of fuel for everyone - preferably 24 litres - with the allowance of being able to use production based equipment paired to a prototype frame. That way, there is no ambiguity. If a manufacturer (Suzuki, Aprilia, Kawasaki, BMW, etc) wish to enter MotoGP by supplying and supporting a private team with a super-trick motor based on one of their production bikes then why not? Then the manufacturer can offer a frame package if they choose or there are the FTR, Suter, etc options as well. Also, the bikes should be available to be bought and not just leased so a team can either further develop them into a second year or on-sell them to another team the following season.Get off my lawn

They will run alongside the normal factory and satellite MotoGP bikes (now officially classified as "factory prototypes" regardless of whether they are being run in a factory team or a satellite team), and be subject to slightly different rules.
The rule has been put in place merely as an ultimate threat, to deter other factories from fielding fully factory-backed engines under the guise of a CRT entry.
Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
