Lincoln, lincoln...
I'm sorry I pissed off an important GP racer like yourself. I'm actually even sorrier I'm arguing with a delusional psychotic- a sure-fire lose-lose proposition.
Where did I say I wasn't interested in GP racing? In fact, I was at the last USGP at Laguna! Were you? I'm guessing not.
Fastest racers on the fastest machines? Well, I think you're probably right, but many track records are held by bikes other than 500 cc GP bikes. Fastest riders? Probably, but they are also the best paid and supported.
These changes won't detract from GP racing- they will add to it. More teams, more riders, more variety- maybe the US will get a round again. What's so horrible about change?
Also, the technical innovations will benefit squids and non-squids alike. Since we are freed from the power limitations of two-smokes, (where power has hovered around the 180 mark for years) now the manufacturers will have to pour money into tire development. That means longer-lasting, stickier tires. Even a grumpy bench-racer like yourself can appreciate that.
As far as me being a "rossi-racer on the street", well, I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about. I ride a clapped-out SV650 and race an even worse EX250- my hopes of getting even the softest GP bike parts are slim indeed. And my squidly days are long behind me.
No fising for me this weekend, I'm going club racing! How about you?
