As Johnny Garness has been mentioned a bit in this thread thought I would put it here that he has been over at Estoril testing for European Talent Cup but sadly has been in a big accident
He came off but was struck by a following rider resulting in an immediate airlift to hospital. Scans showed a fractured skull and some bleeding on the brain. He is stable and being monitored but docs are confident he doesn’t need surgery and should make a full recovery

To start with they basically had a superstock bike so pipe and remap and around 125-130hp at wheel. Once they got a full supersport motor they have 145-150 at the wheel with some proper tuning
Just Googled and they can buy an over the counter kit to give them plenty of extra power. Why persevere with a Superstock motor ?

they can buy......
It can only be that part,a poorly funded team.
How much does 1 race meeting cost?
Plenty dosh to end near the back.
A couple of grand is chicken feed.
Maybe they run so tight after all is paid,they don't have the 2k extra. I can't think of any other reason they wouldn't buy the engines,unless they can't afford to.

It may not be as easy as just buying the kit:
"Available, but:
The delivery time for this product is unknown. We advice you to check the availabilty with our customer service."
There's loads of other race kits. They could have even bought an existing race bike and gave the engine a refresh then slotted it into posh race bike.
Plenty of other solutions.

Is the wrong answer.
The correct answer is:
A: Bike good, necessary faster - Doohan/Marquez is winning on it, you western dog.
I always loved that quote allegedly made by a top HRC man "Bike good, rider necessary faster"
They cant use it this time as the bike is seriously underpowered at the moment and there seems to be a lack of toys coming from HRC to Ms Moriwaki and her team. Internal Japanese race politics perhaps

Any chance the Japanese are struggling with the fact that it's a woman team principal?
