MotoGP is Changing FOREVER... 

Nobody likes peaky small engines

smaller tanks necessitating more fuel stops would definitely upset the apple cart. The team becomes even more important.

Talk for yourselfs​@@Shaft0

@@Shaft0 nah, they're really cool, people love the v8s and v10s of older f1, sure they're still much bigger than bike engines but the same applies

@@Shaft0 bullshit

Ahhh finally thank you. Tired of all the filled in explanations across RU-vid.

Agree with you!!

Thank you sir!

It's so bad. Watch time has people giving a documentary leading up to a 30 second point to be made

MVP!

ICE's are a dying vehicle type, manufacturers know that and don't want to focus on developing high performance ICE's long term for that reason, it's not cost effective. That inevitably shapes the regulations.

yup. every race is a ducati parade now.. with almost no passing

Ridiculous! The racing in the premier class is currently the best it's been in the history of the sport. You are clueless young man!

they should just do away with it all together

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp yep, I don’t understand how people can complain. They probably do because they’ve heard someone say it

@@servethesongshave we been watching the same racing definitely a lot off passing going into on still

Absolute rubbish … 😂🤡🥱

wsbk racing is better than moto gp racing tbh. aero has ruined moto gp.

@@Manny32V And don't forget the electronics.

Blud, none of you can speak for eachother. The last guy above you with similar likes is saying they want less aero because aero ruins racing. So who is right about what fans want between the two of you?

This is a interesting take. I do agree but I don't agree at the same time. We don't want the bikes to be slower, but we do want to see better racing persay.

Wsbk and production bikes in fact are being constantly filled with outdated motogp tech for decades

Lol

They have to start somewhere.

@@future62 driving 4 answers made a video on this and pointed that specifically f1 could set up the schedule to reduce total km traveled but they don't

Green washing

fossil fuel??? lol

It’s already there … 🥱

The problem with todays moto gp is the crazy speed. If crash The riders often suffer major injuries that take long time to recover from . 🤔 F1 did some changes to slow down The top speed after wild acidents.

I agree

small displacement induced crashes sucked

2t rocks you know nothing

Yes! Races are 3/4 tyre conservation and the rest is a sprint/attack mode. I remember the Bridgestone era where they would trash those tyres the whole race distance, with a lot of overtakes. Bring that back. Also why only 1 tyre manufacturer?? Competition brings progress

I think a different tire strategy would help alot but the fact is they are doing what nascar did, slowing things down. Hopefully the add more tracks as well.

Do you have proof of Michelin paying people off? And Michelin does change the tires, part of why bikes are so much faster in 2024 vs 2023 is a new rear tire.

@@future62 You really think racing series aren't paid by the tire manufacturer they choose to be sole supplier ??? That's like thinking the sponsor on a football team's shirts didn't pay for that.

​@@future62 bruh, thats why they are called sponsor, because they paid 💀😭

Yes bro absolutely true 💯

Ppl want to see pilots race, not a "top 20 fatal crash compilation"

You realise that those bikes have close to 300hp right? Also prototype racing is also always about the engineering too. If you want riders skill only go and watch a cup.

@@JxcksonSFcould used a control Ecu like moto 2

If that's so then you should just just watch Isle of man

But that is exactly the current issue. 300+hp is fully unrideable so the teams have built all sorts of bizarre stuff like active suspension, silly looking aero stuff and endless amounts of electronics to try and make it so even the GP aliens can actually handle the things. And before anyone says "blah blah 500 two strokes", those bikes only made around 170hp.

Tech proficiency made the lap time faster and faster every year buddy. Take the best power monster hungry 2T motogp bike with the best rider in the world, it couldn't beat the slowest modern motogp bike and rider today.

Rubbish

@@Bluepillphil-d1w still better than watching ducati vs ducati tho 🗿

@@ikanberapi2189 I’m from the famed 2 stroke era that everyone loves in hindsight, and that was Honda v Honda for quite some time- the whole Doohan era. This just happens in racing, someone works stuff out and they dominate. But if you ask me, these other brands just need some genuine good riders. Like Wsbk, bmw is nowhere, they get Toprak, they win by a mile. Riders still make the difference (largely, some exceptions, Rossi’s move to Ducati for eg which was a distaster, when duc were rubbish, remember?). While yes various makes battling it out is better I agree, it doesn’t detract that much in bikes, they’re still having some epic battles between the riders, Pecco v Martin is fantastic. And it certainly doesn’t mean sbk is better than gp to watch, where the racing just isn’t that spectacular. And the 12 events per year is just nonsense. Wsbk died after Bayliss and Edward’s era some 20 years ago. But if you want edge of the pants racing, 125s/moto3 is the place, and always has been. Rant over, thanks for responding (after my rude comment).

What about engine construction ? Is the 4 cilinder V shape a must by FIM regulations, or is there room for different line-ups as it was in the past (3/4/5 cilinder in line or V) ?

Nonsense! One or two riders leading the field by half a lap! Prove me wrong!

You were just younger and happier then.

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp agreed

2-takt🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I don't think any of the current riders besides Rins and Pedrosa could handle the 500cc from the 90s

It's about pushing into a more efficient overall technology

They all have V4 except Yamaha.

greenwashing would never let that happen, as great as it may be

Maybe understand the emissions regulations and what Honda stated…. Go read about it

And that's a huge part of what'll make it different from the 800 era - the 800s made lots of power because they went down in stroke, not bore, from the 990s. (To massively oversimplify, bore is what limits your potential power as it's what limits airflow, a longer stroke lets you get that power at lower RPM.) (AFAIK, the 1000 cc bore limit was selected to match the bore of the 800s, so manufacturers could make longer-stroke 800s to get a 1000 - or, roughly the same power at lower RPM. And, the 850 cc bore limit results in a stroke very close to the current 1000s, which basically means they should make less power at similar RPM.)

@@bhtooefr Indeed, the new bikes will be jump off the corner grunt machines rather than screamers.

@@bhtooefr the maximum bore is going from 81 mm to 75 mm, quite a big change.

Thanks Leon! Feel free to send me an email!Always up for chatting about how to make the videos better

What a ridiculous word salad! What does the first sentence even mean? Want to try that again. The legendary capacity is 500cc BTW

What a word salad! What does your first sentence even mean? Want to try that again? The legendary capacity was 500cc from 1948 to 2002 BTW You kids are clueless on your history!

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp good luck with making a four strike engine perfor at the har level with an 500cc engine volume. 750cc is legendary because it is waha super bikes with four cylinder engines were limited to for a very long time, hence legendary. And Dorna said they wanted to be more have a bigger road bike connection, what better than to go down to 750cc engine volume. And I would chill down if I was u, old man, no need to be obnoxious. Not that I am a kid but I do wish I was one these days, I have been following motorcycle racing since at least early 90s.

@@Pillokun Your first sentence is non-sensical. And your is spelling atrocious! Heard of a spell-checker? LOL I was the mechanic on 500cc 4-strokes in 1968. Matchless G50. Yes, I'm older than dirt! Your "Superbikes" were not invented until 20-years later. Super bikes with four-cylinder engines were NOT limited to 750cc for a very long time. Google Eddie Lawson's 1982 Kawasaki KZ1000R. From 1948 until 2002 the capacity of the premier class was 500cc. Thats Legendary. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Put yourself on READ ONLY mode ~ that way you won't be able to keep making a fool out of yourself!

Hard disagree, I think it makes them more aggressive and more purpose-built. I won't deny that it makes the racing harder and less safe though

@@MrSkeleton131 i 100% won't want any of those bits on my bikes, even my 6 yrs old son think its ugly

@@MrSkeleton131aggressive and purpose built yes, but still ugly.

@@fearme46not a beauty pageant

For sure, advancing at the cost of the racing as well.

I tuned out of the last race in the second lap once Pecco got in front and started pulling away …🥱

No
