    Control motor for MotoGP.

    Could somebody please tell me what the control motors are for the three current MotoGP classes. I know Moto2 will be moving to the Triumph 765 triple next season, but don't know what the current controls, or the new season's MotoGP and Moto3 are. I believe chassis design is up to the indivual team, but stand to be corrected.

    The rules you mention apply only to Moto 2.

    MotoGP bikes must be prototypes with size and other limitations to restrict the number of cylinders, and the weight etc etc. Basically no part from any production model is permitted. There are control electronics and tyres.

    Moto 3 are four stroke 250cc singles, currently either KTM or Honda. Mahindra were in the mix but have now gone.

    As were Peugeot and Huski for a while (although I think they were just Mahindras and KTMs in different chassis?)

    We'll agree to never mention CRT, OK?
