    MotoGP to 1000cc in 2012

    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "
    Michael King

    Now to ban TC

    Leave TC to Superbikers and let the REAL show begin.

    Yeah I reckon! Although I think SBK should turf T/C too.

    What Honda V5?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I think it's a good thing for the factories to develop...but I'd rather see them develop it on production based bikes...not out and out racers!

    KTM are testing 450cc singles in their 125 chassis under FIM direction. Looks like KTM's reward for keeping things interesting in 125s.

    I'd prefer a 3 cylinder 450cc class myself.

    I hear they will be going to 925cc in 2014, followed by a return to 1000cc in 2020.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Shit yeah - that would be the bees.


    I don't see why they are restricting the number of cylinders to 4 - Maximum of 8 would be good with V6 & V8's running at 25,000 30,000 rpms

    Yes, that's what I'm saying. Looks like they will be getting ready for the replacement class rather than participating.

    Race bikes are race bikes, SBK no less so. Let them develop T/C on road bikes on the road.
