Went to pick my forks yesterday (both oil seals more than just leaking) and had a chat with the chaps running the workshop about Enduro and MX since they are really into them.
Apparently FIM is ready to let two strokes back into competition: they want to bring back the 80cc class (two stroke) and allow youngsters to race with 125cc two strokes against the present crop of 250cc four strokes. All European manufacturers, led by KTM and Husqvarna (owned by BMW) back this move.
Guess who opposes the move on "environmental" grounds?
