Take this piece of news not with a grain of salt, but with a tablespoon of the substance because it comes from an Italian sports daily.
According to the newspaper, BMW’s Superbike team (Leon Haslam, Troy Corser and test rider Steve Martin) will be at the Mugello the day after the Italian GP (July 5th) when the MotoGP teams roll out the 1000cc’s for the first official collective testing day and we should also see a couple of the new Moto1 CRT’s (that’s if they get over clarifying certain engine rules).

This doesn’t mean that BMW is entering the 2012 MotoGP championship, because a factory backed team has already been nixed under the CRT rules, and the German manufacturer recently re-confirmed that they are still sticking to World Superbikes, however this coming together of different bikes should basically be a comparative test between Marc VDS’s Suter-BMW Moto1 and the WSBK race spec S1000RR, but don’t bet on laps times being revealed because they’ll probably turn off the transponders.

The article also revealed why the Suter Moto1 was three seconds slower than the Moto2 bikes testing on the same track, it seems that the Moto1 bike was fitted with regular Bosch electronics and not BMW’s Superbike electronics derived from F1, but the new electronics will be available at the Mugello for test riders Carmelo Morales and Damian Cudlin to use.
