If it had not been for a bit of trouble in the pits it would have been a 3rd place finish.

They are not permitted to modify the engines in the light weight class, but they spend allot on all the other parts, body panels, brakes…exhaust.
The new SV650 was racing as well as the MT-07, the latter of which is the best seller, but did not even show up on the final result sheet. Another bike not even mentioned was ridden by an Italian Team, Paton they placed fifth. (The street legal Paton is powered by a Kawasaki engine)
