Wow this is really cool! I would think that this would help push the 600cc development to a new level and we will now see some other European ie ktm, aprillia, etc... start making 600cc four stoke bikes!!

I wonder if the costs for developing a 600 4S engine will be much more elevated than doing so with a 250 2S.

Also how it will play on the physics of the bike...will they be heavier, wider, etc.

Curious to see if we will see some advancements being applied to street SS.

 

Time to start saving for surplus RS125 and RS250's :D

who cares, The teams whom are in it now can afford the 2 strokes, so a 600 won't be a huge hit if it does cost more...Gotta pay to play when you're on the world's stage.

Will the 600's be V4's? inlines? Any room for triumph to bring the 3 cylinder in?

 

Just has to be 4 stroke, 600cc, and no more than 4 cylinders

 

I didn't see clear mention of it but I assume that these bikes would have to be non production based like the rest of the GP series. Otherwise you'd just have World Supersport
