the 600 looks pimp... but I wonder if it'll run more than one season... as it seems MotoGP is die'n quick

600 class was set to debut in 2011. Don't know how many other manus are going to pony up in times like this. Honda always likes to get a jump on the comp for the first years of a new thing though, like they did with the 990's and tried on the 800's.

Back on topic, you have to have satellite teams. The sanctioning body must make it possible and attractive to a team to compete or they don't. Then you lose $$ from the factory teams, as they have no one to lease new equipment or sell old equipment too, and you have less spectatorship meaning less sponsorships and there goes the neighborhood/series!
