If the EU goes along I suspect they will see a number of 100hp bikes where the most effective performance modification will be done with wire-cutters. I don't know why Germany (BMW) or Italy (Duc, MV) would want to get involved in it.
Oh course they will. It isn't all that hard. Not sure why they think limiting it to under 100hp is going to do anything. My 2009 ZX6r is 109hp and absolutely flies. I'm sure it would still fly with 100hp.
