Mike’s puppet?
Hardly. He thinks I’m an opinionated git.

You are! And so am I! But we're allowed to be. Because we said so.

Moto 2 if it were 750 twins that would be better on sound alone.
It would also allow a bit of a differential in chassis and engine configuration.

but who would virtually give them away?Honda did cos they think everyone thinks they are shit hot for doing so...

Wasn't the idea of aprilas thown in for a start.
I just think a twins class would be a different sound.
It would make it more interesting for me,I fast forward the moto 2's. I actually turn off the sound on the Moto'3. Then pretend they are slow 2 stroke 125's

The 750s might sound OK but everybody would have gone home before the race finished, or at least they'd need to fit lights to the MotoGP bikes because they'd be racing in the dark the 750s would be that bloody slow. Anyway I would have thought there was a bit of a shortage of suitable twin cylinder 750 engines available. Availability was probably the main reason they went for the 600s - all of the big four Jap manufacturers have one.

The Honda engines aren't considered powerful enough by the teams but Honda don't want them blowing up so they won't increase the power.

Chassis design is pretty much unrestricted now but the teams are ultra conservative. Basically they all want the same frame that last years champion had.

Moto2 is what it is and there is some good racing so I can live with it.

Yes But I fail to see how a 750 twin would be slower than a 250 single.
I say bugger to a fixed engine formula Moto GP is meant to be the pinnacle std Style engines is Superbikes.
Don't get me though wrong I like superbikes.
I also understand the need for the STD style Moto 3.
The moto 2 chassis is pretty restricted as it has to fit around the one engine.

You guys would have loved the V4 250 yams and 250 /6 Hondas !

But thats history and never coming back.

I'd also like Production Racing to return to NZ too, but Ahh !

But you said people would leave and go home before the race was finished I just pointed out the fact that they would still be faster the moto3

bloody paparazzi. You must never do that Scott, I am much happier that these plebs low class mortals live out their lives thinking I know nothing about GP's.

Hey, if anyone else was like me and holding off getting a season multiscreen pass to the online motogp.com because of the cost, FYI, because it's now halfway through the season, they've dropped the price of season passes to 50%. I'm now seriously considering buying the multiscreen videopass for the rest of the season, especially with the way this season is shaping up!

Lol, he only won by over 4 minutes and people grizzle now adays when the racing isn't close when someone races ahead by up to 5 seconds.

Odd because Mike was pretty renowned for putting on a show, and a good party afterwards.
