  1. Care to share details? I don’t do that rancid cesspit.

  2. Supersport isn’t the premier, wsbk, or I misunderstood what you said. Bsb is meant to be close to road bikes, but the motel and other regs mean unless you have big funds and teams behind you to sort the electrics you have no chance.
     
  3. I’ll just leave this here….

  4. They were talking about it last weekend in Portimao saying it was likely to come in 2027. Not confirmed yet.
     
  5. Let’s face it, despite all the excuses, sorry, assurances made by Dorna and the FIM, the MotoGP rule changes being implemented in 2027 will mean the superbikes in their current spec, will become the premier spectacle. Dorna’s answer, do away with superbikes, something they tried to do when they inherited the WSBK in 2013 but didn’t succeed. End of an era, just like the demise of the two-stroke :( Andy

  6. I’m okay with Supersport becoming the premier class if it has great racing and makes manufacturers invest and build new bikes. Realistically I’m not going out and buying a new superbike, and I’m in a big crowd of people of that view, they are too hard to justify now. Manufacturers hopefully would invest in more Supersport next gen models that we can buy on the road in say ‘higher bar’ form but equally see racing. Look how well the RS660 has done from that perspective, or the Panigale V2S will do (as much as I still hate the drop in power and those exhausts)

  7. I’m actually quite looking forward to the return of the *800s in moto gp
     
  8. Yes, it will be interesting to see how the manufacturers work to the new regulations
     
  9. Sorry I don’t agree with that. The best bikes and riders will always be in MotoGP.
    In recent years we have had some great racing in MotoGP.
    As it stands road bikes in their current format have a limited lifespan anyway.
