@Ellis420 Dorna introduced the CRTs to take a stand against the MSMA, (which is dominated by HRC), and showed that if necessary, MotoGP could survive without the Japanese factories. Now the MSMA factories no longer get to write the rules to suit themselves, and Honda has at last made an important concession by agreeing to produce a race bike which teams can buy, like the old RG500s. Yamaha has also agreed to provide engines for the current CRTs, so whatever people think, the CRTs have been a major success in breaking the MSMAs stranglehold on MotoGP. Dorna had asked them for years to sell bikes to the teams but the factories always refused and kept jacking up the cost of leasing while preventing teams from touching their engines.
