For real! I wonder how Aprilia and KTM will fair though. They dominate the 2-strokes and their (Aprilia) last effort in GP (The Cube) was a horrible fail. That may be some of the issues to work out. Does it say why they're doing it or is it just an idea right now?

I'd like to see Aprilia and KTM come up with a 600cc, four cylinder, two-stroke that meets emissions. That would be killer.

Sounds good to me.

600cc 2 stroke? That would be more power that the MotoGP 800cc 4 stroke bikes.

I remember back in the day when Yamaha made the RZ350. That thing would smoke 600 and 750 4 strokes all day long.

Some of the stuff floating around is that there will be a control engine or control design of engine. teams will have to build, buy, rent, the chassis and that is where advantages (aside from rider skill) will be had.

i also read that control engines could be modified once in the teams hands... none for sure but some things kicking around. really they wants costs low to get as big a field as possible.

aprilia and ktm arent really happy, because theyre some of the few factories still making sporting 2 strokes available to any team. we'll see how things shake out for them.

But also there may be many 'smaller' non gp teams more comfortable fielding these 4 strokes and enter 600gp... who knows-

just rumormongering....

That shit sounds terrible and makes me want to club baby seals with retarded toddlers.

It'd be interesting to see a race where all of the MotoGP guys are on identical bikes and have had a couple weeks to practice on them. Be a race of pure skill.

Had one,terribly narrow power band. You'd get Popeye sized calves/biceps from rowing the shifter/clutch. Great rewards when you did it right,ugly high sides when you got it wrong!
