I'm pretty sure the engines that Muzzy was protesting against in the 888 were 955cc. I need to dig up the article from Roadracing World if I still have it.

Correct me if wrong here... The issue was that the crank had to be changed, and this was the main point of contention since the bikes are supposed to use the stock crank. Ducati maintained that the crank was available as a race kit available to anyone. Does the crank need to be changed for a 926cc engine? I don't think so but I'm not sure...
