So does that mean if a student is training in something other than a
Robinson, then the numbers originally quoted are possible by regulation?


Yes, but it hardly really matters. The Robinson SFAR is not a practical
limitation because you're not likely to be a safe enough pilot to solo in
less time/training than the SFAR prescribes.

That being the case, I don't see why the FAA doesn't just apply the regs to
everybody as apposed so singleing out one manufacturer.

Just because someone is "not likely to be..." does
not mean that someone else will not be. The R22's
were having an unusual number of accidents, so the
FAA acted to address that problem.
