Hi guys!!can anyone tell which website can see all the­ sport channel live online free?someone did mention the­ website before...but somehow or rather i have forget­ it....kindly help....thanks alot!!!!

Two strokes can be emissions friendly. It's a bunch­ of bull pretending they can't.
This will the­ beginning of the end for the whole series. I won't­ be watching 600s.

things move on i just wish you could use any 600 engine­ from any road bike with some luck someone like kenny­ roberts and aftermarket parts companies will get­ involved to showcase the aftermarket kits and parts­ give it a old style cafe racer theme then maybe we will­ end up with bikes on the road more varied and not all­ japenese look a likeys

A lot of people wailed and moaned when the 500­ 2-strokes were dropped from MotoGP, but the racing has­ been excellent with both the 900cc and 800cc 4-stroke­ MotoGP bikes. Yes race fans will miss the 250 class,­ but the 600cc Moto2 bikes will provide great­ entertainment at the meetings, and provide a fine­ training ground for guys like Bradley Smith, Scott­ Redding and Danny Webb to move up to MotoGP in the near­ future. Yes it's a change, it's regrettable,­ but change happens.

Couldn't agree more. Can't get excited at all­ about the CBR600 cup, sorry MotoGP2! For me you­ can't beat the harsh shrill of a­ "stroker" on song. Bring back the 500s i­ say!!!

250cc is the most exciting race to watch in the whole­ motogp weekend...........if they want moto2 decrease­ the motogp class or something

I'm not interested one bit in Moto2 (600cc Class)­ If you want to watch 600's race you can watch any­ other championship anywhere in the world­ "Superstock, Supersport Ect" 125's and­ 250's are Proper Racing Machines and Truly Amazing­ things to race! And Watch.... The day they kill off 2­ Stroke Racing will be a Very Sad Day for Bikers and­ Racers all over the world, Nothing could replace the­ sound of a 2 Stroke GP Bike on song screaming past you­ on a race track. I for one will have a angry tear in my­ eye when the final 250 crosses the line this year cause­ we would have seen the end of an era, The 2 Stroke­ Screamer will be gone for ever...

i think there should still be 250cc

I don't mind the moto gp2 class coming, but will­ miss the 250's class big time. I love the smell­ the 2-stroke exhaust, the sound the engine makes, and­ the pure excitment the racing has always been, but i am­ sure the moto gp2 class will have its own special­ features. My problem is the single engine­ manufacturing rule, how pants is that. Why should­ honda just get to be the only engine out there. Surely­ racing is about different machines, with different­ talents riding them.

i'm still gutted the 500's went....i wont be­ watching yet another 600 class.

Last thread, I live and work in Japan, I am not a pom,­ you racist worm! Grow up. If you cannot understand­ constructive criticism then you should move back to­ kindergarten and learn it all again. This site is for­ constructive idea sharing, not abuse. I have been­ involved actively through sponsorship and support for­ over 15 years with three Japanese riders. You may­ remember FCC technical sports racing, appearing in­ Motogp several times. I will go so far as to claim­ anything other than one of my riders rode for that­ team, and I was very proud to see her move into the­ 125cc class. I am talking about Tomoko Igata. I­ don't care who you are, judging by your name,­ you're obviously someone who has been banned for­ similar racist views.

unlucky ginger pubes, you've lost them, 250's­ are to close to 125's and 600's will make for­ better racing, just watch worldsuperspoorts or the­ BSB'S supersport's, more of a spectacle than­ [yawn] 250''s- REPSOL ROSS

Carter you are right about 2 things:
1. you are a­ boring old fart
2. killing the 250cc class for a honda­ 600 cup is a bad thing! Nothing appealing about that.

Tony Carter has it absolutely correct. The demise of­ the 2 stroke is as much backward step in technology as­ grounding Concorde. Allowing the new Honda­ championship to run is equally backward, since it is­ just a weekly rolling advert for Honda, and we will­ lose the continuity of young rider development. If­ they felt the need for a four stroke smaller class­ could they have at least used the imagination and­ dreamt up a low cost 400cc twin (1/2 an 800) or 600cc­ single with control electrics? This new series will be­ very interesting for the suppliers of engines and­ parts, but no more interesting to viewers than the BMW­ cup, so TV revenues will fall too, and Superbike and­ Supercup racing will continue to grow.

Also, someone mentioned emissions. But, how can they­ use that line anymore, last year Simoncelli's­ Gilera was cleaner burning and produced less harmful­ gas than Rossi's M1 did... Aprilia and Gilera have­ been using lean-burn engines for the past three years,­ something Motogp can't get right just yet. Also,­ they have run catalytic convertors in all exits ports­ for the last four years. People are developing­ two-strokes, and the peak has not been found just yet.­ KTM said, developing the two-stroke was more­ challenging but, also more rewarding. Perhaps that­ sentiment is touching, but, Honda put simply, are only­ interested in sales performances. The cost to put a­ road worthy two-stroke out, is far higher than a simple­ four stroke motor machine. Also, most people don't­ know how to work with two-strokes, they can't fix­ them themselves, and they usually cost more to put­ right due to the stresses the motor are under. Most­ people who have them, learn quickly, warm them up,­ check everything, but some people, don't want that­ extra hardship to riding anymore. Lets put it another­ way....Ride hard? Look good? or Ride hard...Know your­ bike, work on it....and look good? We're almost­ like classic bikes enthusiasts really aren't­ we....The funny thing is, in 2004 Suzuki developed a­ 700cc two-stroke motor and requested its use in Motogp.­ The motor produced 264BHP at the rear wheel. And using­ the four stroke electrics and chasis would have been a­ true monster I think.

How can anyone be optimistic about the Moto2 class when­ so many manufacturers are about to say goodbye to the­ motogp grid because of it. Already, KTM have left and­ now Gilera, Yamaha And Aprilia have signaled their exit­ from the potential classification. How can anyone make­ a decision that removes manufacturers from the grid?­ The idea of racing is not to showcase anything other­ than manufacturers. The riders on them, for sure make­ the fans pay clsoer attention. But the machines­ themselves are the true marvel of the sport. If they­ are all the same, what's the marvel factor? Close­ racing? Well, let me tell to this and add facts to it.­ One makes races have never been close. They have never­ held attentions. They have never produced new riders to­ move up. Infact they are usually the home of has-beens­ and near do wells. Already Simoncelli has said he would­ rather ride WSB next year than move to motogp as he­ won't be allowed a factory machine. Spies has said­ too, he'd rather stay away from the "mickey­ mouse motogp paddock". Who is going to be next?­ Rossi has added his words to caution, as have Giberneu,­ Pedrosa and Lorenzo. All of them have said what a bad­ idea this is. Restricting rider ages aswel, as I've­ heard in Japan, the rider age for Moto2 will be 20­ years old minumum and 30 years old maximum. Also the­ 125cc clas has had its age restriction changed, to 16­ years old minumum. So what do potential riders do for­ four years if they enter and win the 125cc class? But­ hold on, the 125cc class will end in 2012­ (officially)....So what will replace that? If anything?­ For years Honda wanted rid of the very British 50cc,­ 80cc, 125cc, 250cc, 350cc, and 500cc format. And now,­ we're seeing them finally do away with it...

It is very sad to see the 250's go as we all­ remember the days when bike racing was all about the­ sound and the smell of castrol r. We have to remember­ that even though the 250's give great racing,­ unless you have one of the top factory bikes then you­ really have no chance off getting to the front and as­ for tuning a modern 250 engine in your kitchen and­ being in with a chance of a win i am sad to say has­ long gone.If the factories had kept building road going­ 250's (which were ace to ride) then i think we­ might just have been able to find a way to get them­ cleaner burning.But looking back you can see why they­ didn't sell when an rs250 cost about £4999 and an­ cbr 600 about £5999(import). Lets hope that the new­ moto gp2 gives what the supports want

First word, i am sorry. i really miss 250cc class if­ its over and replacing with moto2.
maybe 2-stroke­ engine deathly soon but its like art on motorcycle.The­ technology always change day by day. i think, FIM could­ categories with care more for small engine like 125 and­ 250cc. give a specific difference type of class like­ 125cc, Moto2 (600cc)and motoGP (1000cc).Small engine i­ Think need average small budget. its could be a small­ team survive.this year in 125 cc, we have about 40­ riders.i dont know better about motoring manufacture­ but in my country a lots of the people used an 4-stroke­ bike with 80c@#$%il 150cc.i am sorry agains.

It is very sad, the Global economic situation has to be­ partly to blame for the adoption of this single engine­ supplier (and possibly the single tyre supplier­ situation in MotoGP). I loved the racing between­ Spencer, Sheene, Lawson, Gardner, Schwantz, Doohan,­ Criville, Rossi, Biaggi, Mamola, Abe et al during the­ 500cc 2-stroke era (please forgive me if i've­ missed out any superstars of that time), but the MotoGP­ bikes of today are what we have, and we must make the­ best of it. I enjoy the racing still, but miss the­ excitement of those 'golden days'. We have to­ remember that Honda 250s in the 1960s were 4-strokes­ (even some 80cc racers were 4-strokes) so in a way, the­ 2-strokes were a backward step. I hope to see the grids­ of 20 or more bikes again in all the classes, but I am­ an optimist, and fear that the smaller grids we are­ seeing in MotoGP may be the norm for all the GP­ classes, more's the pity.

I m also sad about the end of the 250.Two stroke­ engines are just something different,they have more of­ a soul.I ve practiced go karting a while ago with 100­ and 125 racing engines and the sound and grunt of the­ things was amazing.In a two stroke,if by mistake your­ revs go down even 1000 rpm in the wrong spot you can­ easily loose a position.Four stroke engines are more­ forgiving and will therefore lead to drivers not­ evolving that much.And the list thing I want to add is­ that of the greatest things with a two stroke engine is­ that you can basicly pull it out take your tools and­ tune it in you kitchen and any good mechanic can have a­ say in his engine by just a small angle adjustment.But­ I guess no matter what any of us say we re still gonna­ have to bid our fond farewells to the sound of­ carburetor engines,the smell of oil mixed­ gasoline,basicly the good old 250s.
