more fuel

unlimited tyres

i don't think we need to go back to the 990s if we removed the tire & fuel restrictions. i wouldn't mind it but lets see what they can do with the 800s without these restrictions.

IMO electronic aids HAVE to go (and that has nothing to do with the fact Casey & Ducati are winning)

And Spec tyres IMO would be good, it's just my opinion that nowadays they are responsible of a large chunk of the result, and IMO the battle of Michelin vs Bridgestone I don´t give a damm about, I just care about the riders and the bikes.

The fuel limit is good IMO. Makes manufacturers spend money in engine effiency which is something useful.
+1 TC has to go. In my eyes, F1 is the equivalent to MotoGP in that they are the absolute pinnacle in their sport and they have banned the driver aids. It's time for MotoGP to do the same. I think Bridgestone has gotten to the point where maybe they are good enough to compete with the Michelin Saturday Night Specials. If not, maybe it's time to open up a small factory in Europe for that reason.

Agree...with xxCRAS!...CURVExx

I like ham!

Spec tire
No GPS controlled engine mapping
No wheelie or start controls
minimum weight

Yeah no launch control. I think Pedrosa already found out about that!

but the 990's are real bikes

and if they get rid of all the electronics aids & let them use as much fuel as it takes & don't restrict the tires then the 800s could also be manly bikes.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mr-brightside @ Aug 11 2008, 09:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>.... it! I'll just ride the Apache itself, then there is no need to worry about tyres at all!!
Maybe have to bring in a spec rotor though....
LOL!!! That is funny!

I would like to see a few more liters of fuel. The tire rule is okay but maybe raise it to 50. I find it hard to see how the bikes would develop with no ECU control. They would be unrideable and slower. I don't want to see a demolition derby. I voted leave it alone. For at least 5 years just let it go and the teams and machines will even out all on their own and they are.

Ban TC like F1, or limited it severely.

Loved the 990s, but why not try 1111cc!?! Could be a laugh...

I voted spec tires and larger fueltanks.
I think larger fueltanks would be pretty much the same thing as 990 cc too.
It is a simple thing that is doable.But as the manufacturers don't seem to want to ban the tc and a control ecu would force every one to use the same engine configuration they don't want that either.
In that case it would be like everyone went to race with the same engine,and no one would like that.
With spec tires the tires would hopefully in the future be underpreforming and it would bring out rider skills.And hopefully they can choose the tire they want on raceday because as it is now it's too much of a gamble i think.
Let them only use 35 tires or whatever but they shouldn't have to choose on thursday.

true. I just want to see them try SOMETHING

theres no way dorna will go back to 990's. thats like admitting they ...... up . but a liter more fuel and more tyres to play with is possible. having to choose your tyres on the thursday is just ....... stupid, that rules needs to go.

yeah, I never understood the logic behind that, never!
maybey they should let you run dorna big rodge

i think they should have ex-racers running the rules change side of things rather than accountants and lawyers. but thanks for your vote of confidence mate
