I never understood why they lowered the cc's. It was the most stupid thing they have ever done. And then at the same time that tyre rule thing. And not to forget the maximum fuel thing also.
The nice things about the 999cc were the enormous power the bikes had and it was also an engine that also exists on the commercial market. Well at least the cc's. 800 cc doesn't exist commercially. And now that they lowered the cc's it lowered the torque and power. I think it is simply stupid!
