Two words: snowball effect.

2008 WSB allows 1200cc twins
2009 AMA SB follows suit
2010-2014 Ducati 1199s dominate all forms of superbike
2015 Honda introduces the RC56
2016 Honda RC56s dominate all forms of superbike
2017 Rules are changed to allow 1150cc 4 cylinders
2018 Suzuki brings back the GSXR1100
2019 Ducati starts whining again because they are too stubborn to adapt
2022 1800cc twins

and so on.

Actually that would be pretty cool.

That would be cool and all.... But then my RC would be really underpowered. Crap

I think the Desmo V-4 will be put into a limited production bike, thus qualifing it for Superbike.
Then Honda will finally have to bring the V-5 to the street.
