I'm not sure if I should post this in the 125 sticky thread, but I felt it deserved a thread of it's own.
Watching the 125's over the past few years, the class has declined in entry numbers, is now the last 2 stroke class left on the grid, and with costs that are still through the roof. Moto2 is significantly cheaper I believe.
So will the class be about still in 2012?
The old 125 > 250 > 500 progression made perfect sense. During the 990 era i doubted whether 250 > 990 was a logical progression, but 125 > 250 always seemed right. But now the 250 class is gone, I can't help but feel 125 > 600 > 800 just doesn't fit.
My own opinion is that 250 four-strokes could replace the 125cc class, maybe when gp's switch to 1000s. So we'll have 250 > 600 > 100. Perfect
So what do you powersliders think?
