600cc 2 stroke? That would be more power that the MotoGP 800cc 4 stroke bikes.

I remember back in the day when Yamaha made the RZ350. That thing would smoke 600 and 750 4 strokes all day long.

Default rumormongering

Some of the stuff floating around is that there will be a control engine or control design of engine. teams will have to build, buy, rent, the chassis and that is where advantages (aside from rider skill) will be had.

i also read that control engines could be modified once in the teams hands... none for sure but some things kicking around. really they wants costs low to get as big a field as possible.

aprilia and ktm arent really happy, because theyre some of the few factories still making sporting 2 strokes available to any team. we'll see how things shake out for them.

But also there may be many 'smaller' non gp teams more comfortable fielding these 4 strokes and enter 600gp... who knows-

just rumormongering....

It'd be interesting to see a race where all of the MotoGP guys are on identical bikes and have had a couple weeks to practice on them. Be a race of pure skill.
