Starting in 2028 Moto3 will change from a 250cc prototype class to a spec class using 700cc Yamaha twin CP2 engines derived from the R7. :eek: Not a move I'm in favor of.

So the new classes will be:
Moto3: Yamaha 700cc twin
Moto2: Triumph 765cc triple
MotoGP: prototype 850cc 4-cylinder
75 Yamaha RD125B   75 Yamaha RD125B (project)
75 Yamaha RD250B   75 Yamaha RD200B (project)
73 Yamaha RD350     77 Yamaha RD400D   79 Yamaha RD400F  
91 Yamaha TZR250R  89 Yamaha FZR400   05 Yamaha FZ6   
05 Yamaha XT225TC  82 Honda MB5  02 Aprilia RS250 Cup (sold)

That's too bad.

Right now, it's the most competitive and exciting of the Moto classes.

If I had to watch only one class, it would be Moto3.

So the new classes should be:
Moto3: 125cc 2 stroke single
Moto2: 250cc 2 stroke twin
MotoGP: 500cc 2 stroke 4-cylinder
RZ350-RZV500R-TZR250RSP 3XV2
RGV250 VJ21 SP/VJ22 SP/VJ23 SP
RS250 for track - KD80 - JR50 for kids
TS/TM400 supermoto style...

In a little over 20 years they've succeeded in ruining all 3 classes in GP. For good measure they even did Moto3 twice. >:(
And with Liberty now in charge I'm predicting we haven't seen the end of the bad decisions.

I agree.

Liberty will move motorcycle racing in the direction of F1 - and kill it (for me at least).

They are on the way with the Moto3 announcement.
