    Hopefully no-one loses their rear end.

    Development of new technologies would cease.

    There is merit in the idea, if it were to take the format of the top ten guys in MotoGP all being put on identical stock bikes for a race. I suspect the top half dozen or so would qualify as aliens, regardless of what bike they're on

    Back in the day Kenny Roberts used to have all sorts of people training out at his ranch dirt track
    It was not uncommon to have the likes of Jon Kockinski Wayne Rainey Eddie Lawson and Kenny Roberts plus others battling it out on std XR100's
    I read Wayne used to win most and Kenny as well, when John started winning to often they pulled his bike down and found he had done some mods including lightning the flywheel So they made it slower and never told him.

    Cheaper to run than the current bikes too.

    Tell me about it they used to throw in rings every session but only as they had the heads on to check the carburation anyway.
    Pistons could do 2 GPS inc 3 days practice and cranks 2000KM bit that was pretty much it. Other than the crank gears they could do a season on one engine easy.
    Not only cheaper to buy, Both cheaper to make and cheaper to run.
    plus sound so much better
