I'm hoping the return to 1000cc will give us 4 more years of Rossi.  2 years to wrap up 800cc's and hopefully he signs on another couple to retire on the 1000's.

What are the Odds that any of the teams will use a "Stroker motor" (Bore less than 81mm) and go for more tourqe?

Read back in the thread.

I'd say the odds are 100% since they are mandating a max bore of 81mm.

Uh, I mean. "Yes, I'll take those odds. I bet $1000 that *all* the teams will make the switch."  Grin

related, sorta: latest issue of RRW has an article comparing/contrasting WSBK and MotoGP once they're both at 1000cc. 

also has an interesting article about how the differences in the spec tires between each series entirely dictates the different styles of riding we see between the two series.  includes a comment from The Ben, theorizing that JT spent too long on the pirellis to be successful on the 'stones... which, come to think of it, supports why he did a lot better on the Michelins when he first got to GP.

More 2012 specs released.  6 or 12 engines for the season.  A claiming rule, eh?

It's gonna be like '02 all over again.  Alternatively, there's a chance that an entire factory's worth of motorcycle racing engineers knows more than I do.   Tongue  

Doesn't that also mean that Rossi is going to Ducati in 2011?

hmm.. http://www.motomatters.com/news/2010/05/06/herve_poncharal_i_don_t_think_there_will.html

I feel, it's only a feeling, that one of them, maybe more, will be ready to race with a 1000cc prototype, and if one is doing it, then all them will have to do it. So maybe, already, from 2012, the 800cc won't be a problem any more, because out of the rules we already have, you could almost already delete the 800cc.

herve has a history of being right about such things.
