Yamaha R1 banned from Canadian Superbike Series

With any luck, someone will partner with the FIM to bring proper Superbike racing to both Canada and the United States.  A unified series would be ideal.  As it stands though, both countries have a collection of clowns running (ruining) the respective series.

Thankfully, we can see the European series on cable

Let me get this straight........Yamaha factory team said they were withdrawing from the series so the organisers then banned ALL R1s and post 2009 R6s from privateers and non-factory teams??? WTF!!!

Are they on self-destruct or what? They are acting like a little kid. This sort of action has got to be the fastest way to ruin a race series. What sort of message does this send to other manufacturers? So does anyone think this is more likely or less likely to make Yamaha want to re-join the series...Hmmmm I wonder.
