1000cc motogp bikes?

Interesting. It makes sense if it's not safer or bringing closer competition.

Higher displacements mean cheaper and more reliable power. Maybe it's a way to give teams with less money more of a chance?
Aside from that, I don't really see how it will make much difference for the viewer. I can see how the development can work it's way back to the street. |
“Right now, it is not going to be possible to switch in 2011, because the agreement with the manufacturers means that we could only make that change before the end of the 2011 season if there was unanimous agreement among the manufacturers. But we are thinking about a return to a 1000cc capacity from the start of the 2012 season, and we will start discussing it this weekend.”

If Nicky can last that long in MGP, maybe he'll be back to form again.

The problem is the 6 engine rule and cost cutting. GP bikes will only be able to use 6 engines for the entire season next year to save money. So they need to detune them to get the reliability and thus the show suffers, lap times slow and riders complain about 'soft' engines, etc. 1000cc means they can make the same amount of power with more reliability.

Well, they used to have 500cc two smokes, so 1000cc four strokes is about right.
