Yeah, I wonder what the weight limit is. Engines probably close to SS engines.

Moto2 bikes

Post removed. Nothing to see here.

So how long will it be before they start to slow the things down?

I love the idea of the 600's, just a shame we had to loose the 250's for them. But I don't really see the point of the 600's as long as we have the 800's. Unless the 600's are seriously restricted they are going to be all over the 800's

I wouldnt worry about that to much.If you read the rules,its going to be basically wss engines with prototype suspensions. They even have a claiming rule where you can purchase the engine from any competitors bike for like 20,000 dollars. That will keep any team from going crazy on engine development

Prototype chassis too Povol,be nice to see some forward thinking with the new class.

What leaves me really perplexed, is that after creating a premier class like the 800cc, with a 250-like corner speed, they remove the 250, which is the only serious school where riders learn cornering speed on something beefier than a flimsy 125...

And as 250 replacement, they invent a hybrid formula with substantially heavier 600cc bikes that would become dangerous, imho, if ridden like a current 250.
