Better than that. You can have an Aprilia RSV4-GP.

I can't imagine Honda, Yamaha or Ducati building production based
machines. So unless production based engines are required, the best this
means is that a WCM will be able to build a race bike with a production
based engine and go round in 10th to 28th and occasionally get lapped.
It might mean that Aprilia and BMW feel they can get involved and I
think an unlimited tuning RSV4 might be almost competitive. But it won't
win.

My proposal - strict, ever-decreasing on-board fuel limits.
You don't need a displacement limit, fuel = HP = top speed.
Want to limit those?  And advances in fuel management would be
a good technology transfer item for street bikes - we have
traction control already.
