I'm sorry John, but that's simply not correct. The pre-gens were immediately not competitive against a well-setup new-gen. The same riders were dropping several seconds with the new design. With the same exhaust & intake mods, the engines get awful close, but what matters most on track is the improved chassis, better wheels/tire options, better brakes, better suspension, along with better high-rpm reliability. The pre-gens are great bikes. But they aren't better on track than the new-gens, sorry.
