[QUOTE="feejer222, post: 404924, member: 4611"] Aha, it was the superbike tag that threw me, elsewhere as you know they are 1000's, & the 600's are supersports. It's an accepted theory over here that the route to MotoGP glory is through the 2 strokes not through superbikes 1000's or 600's. There have been a couple of polls on the BSB forum and the unanimous result is that 250's should be brought back to our national series. We currently have a 125 championship. Our current 125 racers who are making a mark at world level have all started in this then have been diverted off to Spain where there is a 125 accademy for them to flourish in. There has been one here for the last 4 years or so but as soon as they can they go over to Spain as there is a better chance of picking up a good sponsor or getting into a good team over there. There is by the way an American kid, 16 or so, cutting it in the GP's at the moment, can't remember his name. Don't you think you guys should be going along that route to bring youngsters into top level racing as soon as possible instead of allowing them to stagnate in the AMA? [/QUOTE]
