SADLY THE ABOVE LINK SAYS THE 800CC RULE IS GOING AHEAD , SO GET READY FOR LAP TIMES SLOWER THAN PRIVATEER SUPERBIKES , IF THE BIKES ARE TOO FAST FOR SOME RIDERS IT MAYBE TIME TO RETIRE.

What distinction is there going to be between motogp and superbikes......one class will die out :no:

I heard that Rossi was considering changing to a cage (F1?) anyway :weird:

AS IT IS AT ONE OF THE TRACKS THERE WERE LOCALS ON ALMOST STOCK ROAD BIKES THAT WOULD GET MIDFIELD PLACINGS IN MOTO GP , SO THERE ALREADY TO CLOSE NOW THE MOTOGP IS GOING TO LIMIT ITSELF BY 200CC, FUCK SAFETY THESE ARE PROFESIONAL RACERS WHO GET PAID MILLIONS TO RACE , ENTERTAIN ME YOU FUCKERS

[Sensei]

Looks like we'll be racing Rossi on the local roads soon :rofl: :motu:

Now, I don't want to start comparing this and that, but I found it amusing that the top few Superstock bikes would have made the grid in front of some of the GP bikes. A twenty thousand dollar street/race bike is faster than twenty-percent of the GP field. That has to be a kick in the teeth for the team owners/managers of those teams. We've read all year how they are multi- million dollar efforts and they have this and they are GP and they do that and that little Jimmy is so clever and has been working on the design of that motor and little Johnny came up with the chassis that is so great and this guy has been in GP for a million years, etc etc. It must be humbling when any guy on the street can build a bike out of a dealership and go faster. I guess they can say that they are part of the Moto GP circus though.

THESE ARE LIGHTLY MODED BIKES ,ZX10S , GSXR1000S ETC WITH NOBODY RIDERS, AND YET THE MOTOGP STILL WANT TO DO THE 800CC RULE , FACE IT DO YOU WANT TO SEE A BIKE WORTH 2 MILLION DOLLARS GOING SLOWER THAN YOURS WITH A GUY RIDING IT GETTING PAID 5 MILLION TO RIDE IT , NOT ME

HE RIDES A WR450F ROUND LONDON. I STILL DONT LIKE YOUR CHANCES

Not afraid to be shown up by anyone as long as I get the chance to watch them do it !!

[WINJA]

ONE OF THE MOTARD GUYS LET ME TAKE HIS RACE BIKE ROUND THE STREETS OF AUCK , TELL YA WHAT I THINK I WAS FASTER ROUND THE STREETS AND ESPECIALLY AROUND THE DUCKPOND AT WESTERN SPRINGS THAN I WAS ON MY 1000

I dont think it will make much difference to be honest. Thats only about 47cc per cylinder on a 4 cylinder machine and thats just modified squish. Since most of the tracks are not full throttle tracks anyhow, it really just means they get to open the throttle more for longer.

IF IT HAD NO EFFECT ON SPEED AND POWER THEY WOULDNT HAVE DONE IT , ITS STILL A DROP OF 190CC , 190CC IS LIKE A WHOLE ENGINE FOR SOME BIKES

[TwoSeven]

You mean its a whole engine for a suzuki - everyone knows they only run on one cylinder :)

[James Deuce]

Come on WINJA, it has always been the case that at some tracks Superbikes have been very close to 500GP/MotoGP times. The 800CC limit will make them harder to ride, not easier. They'll be putting out the same HP figures within 12 months, but they'll be using much more expensive technology to do it.

We'll be back to the era of rear wheel steering, and I for one am looking forward to going back to a situation where top level Superbike riders can't ride the top class MOTOGP bikes competitively.

wahoo no more smokers!!!!!
4's rule the earth!!!

[unhingedlizard]

bring back two strokes and let them loose at 800cc i say.

Now that would rock.

[Madmax]

Good old Formula 750
dirty great big two strokes
KR750s and Tzr750s
would be good to watch
:devil2:

[Lou Girardin]

When F1 went from 1200 hp turbos to 700 hp n/a engines the lap times dropped because the power was more usable more of the time.
The same will happen in MotoGP. At present they can't use the power the 990's are capable of.

Shit yes.Even I'd be in to watch 800 cc two smokers on the loose. And maybe that would even encourage them to bring out some decent big road going two strokes. /me likes two strokes. Nice and simple.
