I still dont understand. The budget of 250 teams is not going to allow them to run 600cc bikes. its going to be way more expensive, and i really hope we dont endup with another supersport class as a GP class

Regardless of what occurs with the class changes, that Moriwaki is sick.

I looked over the production 250 GP-style Moriwaki at Laguna Seca in the Honda booth and immediately fell in love. This is no different.

I'll take 3. With a full compliment of spares too of course.

I'm kind of hoping for a prototype spec engine ruling.

Wouldn't that hamper trickle down development?

Most likely, but it would be more interesting to watch and read about. Mainly watching.

Honestly tho, I think the 600's will have way too much hp/torque. They may very well restrict power.

heh. they went from 500 2-strokes to 1000 4-strokes, then reduced it down to 800 4-strokes.

one would think they'd make the 250 2-strokes switch to a 400 4-stroke... *shrug*

One things for certain... that looks like it could possibly be faster around a tight track than a motogp would be.
