Give them 4 gears and 4.5" rear rims.
Zero to hero with every gear change and lots of spinning setting off the traction if you mangle your throttle application.

Just watching the Moto3 and it occurs to me I don't know if there is a bike in it that's like the old Yamaha TZ250 or Honda RS125?

If it helps apparently the Honda frame is based on the RS125.Originally Posted by diesel pig
Both it and the KTM are hugely oversquare singles peaking around 13 grand
KTM is 81 X 48.5 so probably huge valves.
They're just very efficient air pumps.

Sorry, I did not make myself clear. I mean (I think you Grumph was the one who told me) that you could walk into any Yamaha dealership in the past and if you had the money, you could order a Brand new TZ for the next race season and if you were lucky it would turn up a month before the race season started. Or are all the Moto3 machines factory specials and for the poorer teams old factory specials?

You need a team. You get there by doing well in Red Bull Rookies. Kinda closed shop.
Think ktm actually make money from engine and they have hondas arse.
To make it worse you need to be a featherweight.
That's probably why my submission wasn't accepted.
And I say I wasn't riding a stinkin 4 stroke. Actually they never got back to me. . .

I think the regs say the bikes have to be available for sale. Certainly the factories have to make available a minimum number.
But they're for approved purchasers. Which effectively means teams already signed up for Moto3
I believe Honda do a lower spec bike for things like the Japanese Championship.
And it would appear that if you have the right contacts KTM engines can be had
Probably last years engines rebuilt.

. MM set a new record for Aragon. He’s been on form all day apparently. He was promised new bits ?? Has that made a difference?

dunno if it made a difference but its his track and its not one that Pecco is so good at.. MM is just so so fast on left handers.
To be fair, late in the race last week he was the fastest guy on track too.. could be an epic race tomorrow
