I think wait and see, I am pretty interested to see 35+ bikes on the grid!

Nope cause there ain't going to be any 250's on the track cause no one is running them!

I can see that anytime mate. Just gotta go to a Superbike round. They had that many 250's on the grid anyway. Killing the 250's off sucks arse.

That really sucks that the mighty strokers are gone ,
How long before they wreck the 125s?

Bring back the 500s ! That was REAL racing !

Only one team expressed interest in running a 250 then they backed out.
Stink!!!
I wonder how much more speed the race spec engine will be worth.
They are getting them in March.

C'mon you bunch of old dinosaurs~! The world has moved on... move with it and have a little enthusiasm for what might actually be a class with outstanding racing and any of 10 possible winners on the day. (Oh - that is kind of like SBK and WSS isn't it?!!)

As I have said many times before

600 is the way to go , both for NZ and Moto2, for a whole bunch of reasons

I'm very interested in this class

might need a tweak or two , but I'm hoping the costs will be way down and more will enter as wild cards for example

You can enter your hotrod 600 as a wild card in Super Sport Stephen. Doesn't mean Moto GP rounds should have them too does it?

No you can't actually, you have to use production based frame and engine.

The fact of the matter is that the 250 grid was ever dwindling with a cost of around 1 million euro a year to run one of the front running aprillias. Along with that the "also rans" were ever decreasing in numbers, some races last year only had 20 odd entries. I don't really give two stuffs what kind of bike they are running, I want to see some close races and 3-4 guys still with a shot of taking out the championship going into the last race. Looking at the testing results it is doing that too, top 5 within 0.1s. Give it 6 months and then see if it's a success!

I fully know the regs for Super sport thanks mate. I was meaning if you want to enter a 600 race as a wild card you can. Doubt there'll be too many in the new class though. Don't think I can recall seeing only 20 250's either. Like I say...if you're that keen on seeing 35 600's race...go see a Superbike round. Odd that most of the last world champs in Moto GP have come from 250 backround though eh? Not from WSS

Yeah but you could argue that the reason they aren't good enough from wss/wsbk is that they are using road bike chassis and with moto2 having prototype chassis (most likely very similar to motogp chassis) that the riders will be better suited to the 800's than if they had steped up from 250's, already knowing how a 4 stroke engine behaves.

And I don't think they are going to be having any problems getting entries http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/156...ntry_list.html

Looking back through a few 250 races last year 23-25 seemed to be the norm with less than 20 finishing on multiple occasions. Compared with 125's where they were regularly getting 33-35+.

That maybe so...but not people could ever argue that more often than not...the 250's provided the best racing/action.
