Pinched from an article over on MotoSport :- "The 500 two-strokes were the pinnacle of motorcycle racing until the larger-capacity MotoGP bikes arrived in 2002, but the development of engines, chassis, tyres and electronics has been so fast that Moto2 bikes – powered by Honda CBR600 streetbike engines – were lapping faster than the 500s in 2010." Shows the development escalation over the years that can reduce laptimes to that degree. It almost makes you wonder why we found the 2stroke era so exciting, being slower than 600cc road engines. ( Old ferts like me found 50bhp on treaded tyres exciting :) ) Maybe the ever increasing chasing of power of modern engines isn't needed. Perhaps TalentFan has any thoughts on that. How you would restrict and put a ceiling on engine power is the question though. I'd go for 3 cylinder 999s if it was down to me. An interesting article that includes Cal's thoughts after riding a 1980s Eddie Lawson bike at Hondas 'Thankyou Day'  

Often dont agree with Ecclestone but hes gone up in my estimation. The honors system is a load of crap. Giving knighthoods to overpaid actors for example. People who get paid ridiculous amounts of money for pretending to be other people.
