It is a peculiar issue, but I wanna understand the engineering of motoGP and don't know where to start. My brother told me to study engineering but I can afford college just by watching the championships. How can i study about the championship bikes? Books, videos? I really don't know.

Neil Spalding's book "MotoGP Technology" is a good place to start. The 3rd Edition costs about 50 GBP, but you might be able to find an older addition for less in the second hand markets.

Also learn the basics of naturally aspirated engines. This website does a good job of laying out the basics using motorsports anecdotes

Power and Torque: Understanding the Relationship Between the Two, by EPI Inc.
Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP): The Performance Yardstick

Here's a good video about MotoGP aerodynamics:



In the end, you just have to read obsessively and watch videos, and then compare what you read to your own critical thinking and expert opinion to filter through good and bad information.
