As Rossi's and MotoGP's fan I am against Rev Limit!!!!!!!!!!!

It makes the competition dull!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you guys think???????

i agree totally ,would make things dull, but maybe they could do something bout traction control r its gonna end up like f1 ..........(follow the leader)

If they want to implement the rev limit, then I would suggest they have traffic lights, zebra crossings etc on the track. They said downsizing the c.c of the bikes to 800 is to control the power and allowing traction control for safety reason and now this. May be they want to run the races on the streets.


2008 - VALE CONQUERS

couldnt have said it any better han your so right , my other concern , moto gp technology gets passed down to road bikes ! 45mph hayabusa anyone!

What I agree:
1. Taking out traction control. Giving rider more role. Not just open the throttle and done. Why make one rider better than others than? MotoGP is sport game not PC or Console game.
2. Limit the fuel consumption. Squeezing big power from ultra economic racing engine would be very challenging. Downsizing the engine could be part of the way to limit the fuel consumption.
3. Maybe tire. as the theme of racing is more to machine and rider/driver. Not tyre. Who knows yamaha actually was better than ducati last season but because michelin was bad perform it discounted all the potential M1 has. Who knows if M1 was better in 2006 and 2007. Only heaven knows.
4. Desmodromic, pneumatic valve, spring are allowed no exception.

What I do not agree:
1. standard ecu.
2. rev limit.

Yes riftan these measures certainly would make it more about rider talent not electronic technology, and yes let each manufacturer decide and develop what valve system to use. youve got my vote

Yamaha and Honda are supposedly supportive of a move to a rpm limit in MotoGP. Not surprisingly, the limit would be 19,000 rpm—a number that both manufacturers are thought to be just under, but that Ducati has reportedly surpassed. Not at all surprised to hear this.

Supersport already runs.Motogp is supposed to be the top class in racing.If they downsize from the 800 the class will die.

If they had to chose from reducing the rev limits or reduce the traction control I'd rather they reduced the traction control (not remove it altogether, I think some traction control is necessary for safety reasons, but not like how it is now, basically removing the need for a rider - well give it 2 years and that's how it will end up I'll bet!)

Sooooo, was there an article about rev limits? How would it work? The bike changes gear way earlier than it does now, so being able to flog it for acceleration would be removed? Or top speed rev limit? Overall, why tamper with acceleration? What is the point in that? Sounds like more effort to level the field between riders again...

Stoner hits out at Japanese factories


MotoGP champion Casey Stoner has hit out at Japanese manufacturer rivals Honda and Yamaha for trying to slow down his Ducati team's efforts through rule changes.
On the back of Stoner's and Ducati's maiden MotoGP crown last year, moves have been made in recent weeks to try and impose a rev limit in the sport, which would penalize Ducati the most.
And having expressed displeasure many times at not being given enough credit for winning the crown last year, Stoner is furious at his opposition's approach.
"It's been frustrating because everyone said my results were down to other things," he said in an interview with the Times. "It was traction control or the tyres or the bike. It pissed me off.
"Now the Japanese factories have been trying to bring in new rules to squish us down. You think about the amount of manpower they have compared to an Italian manufacturer and they are running scared. They are trying to use politics to bring down Ducati when they should just work harder."
Stoner has also said that his relationship with Valentino Rossi changed throughout the course of last season, when it became clear just how strong he was on track.
"At the beginning of last season it was fantastic and he was giving credit, it was a real good time," Stoner said. "By the end of the season he never spoke to me. He did not like the fact that I was able to come in and win."
Having topped the times in the recent qualifying practice session at the official MotoGP test at Jerez, Stoner has given every indication that he will be just as strong this season.
And he believes that Ducati have made improvements with their bike - especially in acceleration where the team were already so good.
"Despite what anyone else thinks, we were struggling for bottom-end acceleration last season," he explained. "We've changed the chassis so that the bike's easier to ride coming out of turns. I'm not expecting to win the title but I'm working hard."
