1000cc in 2012

[zooom]

the only "other" reason I could find for a rev limit could be potentially for some level of noise control ?!?!?!

[gm2]

noise control.. that's cute 


rev limit is about $.  like everything else they're doing/considering.

[Triple J]

I have little problem with a rev limit really...it seems to work in F1. It has to be beyond the realm of everyday street bikes though.

'...the guys doing the TV shouldn't be making the rules...'

Priceless.....this current arrangement will be the death of MotoGP, and it sounds like he's ready to retire.  When the only constant in an uber-expensive sport is the tracks where the races are held then nothing has any meaning, including the value of the championships.

Has it all become a reality show within a reality show, with the only incentive being maximizing advertising dollars (i.e., greed)?

[Speeddog]

Must point out....

The folks making the rules, up 'til now (MSMA), have done a pretty stellar job of make the beast with two backsing up the ballgame.

[fastwin]

Why is it that I become less and less interested in MotoGP and the season hasn't even started? Isn't there a WSBK race this weekend?

[zooom]

Derby?

sorta kinda but not really....

[Jester]

Its really too bad Marco isn't around this year to take it to Stoner.

Desperate to run at the front, and running out of options with the season opener rapidly approaching, Ducati is exploring its final option . . . writing a check to lease Honda MotoGP bikes for both Rossi and Hayden.....

Nooooooooooooo

It's a pretty weak prank. they should have used a random Italian name as a source and quoted that source using some bad english.

rev limit put off 'til 2014; single bike in 2013
