Wonder what would happen

**FROSTY:Me** · 22nd October 2015, 18:35

I wonder what would happen in Motogp if ALL the teams were suddenly required to use only bikes available for retail sale with no aftermarket parts of any sort allowed (except safety gear.)
Would there suddenly be a heap more front runners.?
Would there be a sudden rush of "limited" production bikes the public "could " buy if they had the money?
Or are the top 6 or 8 riders really in a league of their own?

Too many hypothetical questions for me, but My opinion on riders is, the top few are in a league of there own.

Agreed, the top 5-6 are in a league of their own.

Honest opinion from a cheat. A novel thought ...

I wouldn't be MotoGP, it would be superstock, which already exists. The whole point of MotoGP is racing prototype machines. Isn't that a bit like asking what it would be like if squash players used a bigger, fuzzier ball and played over a net instead of into a wall?

my point really is-would those top few guys still be in a league of their own ?

Well if things go to plan the moto gp is going to get more interesting when the cleaner more powerful two strokes can back into play 500cc 240 HP and a wider spread of power than the current diesels.
Cheaper to run than the current bikes too.
