The 800cc limit I understand and am forced to agree with, the bikes have got to be slowed down in some way before people start to get really hurt a lot, yes we all know they go just as fast 2 years later but that hardly merits no action. The plan for the future also indicates that 800cc is forseen as staying for quite a while.

2012 is quite a long way off, who knows how fast the diesels will be going by then. The MotoGP bikes destroyed any 500 2 stroke hopes first time out.
I had thought at the time that the (first MotoGP) title would either go to Max (on the Yam M1, proven in line 4 technology that Checa was using in tests to absolutely devastate race times) or Kato on the v4 NSR. I never thought Honda could get the RCV211 on the pace quick enough and believed it to be another oval piston style failure. How wrong I was.

That it is 400cc v-twin is quite interesting, will they be quick enough to give a 250 a race?
