I kike Watson's idea, but if we mod the smoker, then we have to hear the strokers complain, its not fair, you modded the smoker, then we should get to mod the stroker.
After some thought, what I'd really like to see, it 2 comparrisons.
1st, stock bike with proper jetting, pipe, gearing, basic adj to the suspenders, etc. Basicaly what the weekend amature will be racing / riding. 2nd, lets mod and then compare apples to apples. Yes its costly, but now we get to see the full picture.
Now the other problem... how many riders are comfortable / compentent on the smokers. Most pro riders have not ridden one in quite a while, and have forgotten how to ride the smoker.... so I think it should be more of a long term test, then a one day and done....
just my $.02
