600s to replace 250s in FIM

Not til 2011, but this could make things interesting and improve the 600 market even more.

Damn that's awesome. 22,000 RPM anyone?

AWESOME!

though I wonder if they'll bitch about the corner speeds too?

wonder what the weights will be?

I think we'll see a much larger trickle down from them to our bikes than the full motogp bikes and AMA, WSBK

I'm just curious how much more shit you can add to a production 600 and keep it durable and reliable. I'm sure we'll find out in 3-5 years. It's gonna be sick.

alot-itll just make em cost more

I hear what your saying about what it will do for the 600 class, but if that means bye bye YzR-250(AKA the R4), And other future small bore plans then bahh hummbug!

yzr4 250 will be a 4 stroke, not a 2 smoke like the FIM 250s

I don't see that having an effect on those bikes at all.

wonder if the 125's will eventually go 250cc 4cyl

The only bike to justify sheding of another 2-Stroke class hasn't even been Produced yet...

No effort into the clean 2 cycle tech that is out there...

And Raising it all the way to another 600 class. If only a 400cc 75 MPG Turbo Bike (Under 325 Lbs please) would ever have a class of its own then maybe something fun would trickle down to the average Joe.

Something New!

And no the Ninja 250 just isnt cutting it!

scuse me, where tha fudge do i buy a r4
