it's already dead, with the previous rules/costs. how much worse can it get?

I fully understand the view that the class is the prototype class and should be open to anyone to bring the best they have...the issue is, it's not working. I'd rather watch a Moto2 race with 30-40 riders on similar performing machines than 4-5 bikes on Yamahas and Hondas in some exclusive little band of very fast, but very unexciting racing.

I agree, it's a step backwards from the technology perspective, but for the actual RACING? I can't see the 2011 rules doing anything to improve the situation....
