Come on Yamaha... Kawasaki are dominating the Isle of Man TT Super Twins... Surely the MT can blow them in to the weeds.

A tuned MT may (or may not) "blow them into the weeds" (remember that a tuned ER is putting out around 100bhp) BUT the MT is too large an engine cc for the Supertwins as the limit is 650cc I believe.

So unless they alter the regulations or the bike's engine size it's not going to happen.
 
The Australian MT is 650 so a 650 is buildable but if it could be done within the rules
and be competitive I don't know.
