Isn't Moto3 destined to replace the 125 class?

Yep...4 stroke singles
They had a Moriwaki Moto3 bike at Laguna Seca
Very nice!! Looked alot like this:

KTM has been circling around this formula for a few years now. Seems I recall Bike UK covering their 250 and 450 singles prototyped as track bikes.
Great formula, IMHO.
[drool]
Well they have a very strong engine in the motocross 250SXF and all their brands seem to have that much more power than the rest. So they know how to make power!
but Honda already has the contract for Moto3....not saying it won't be an awesome track machine or seller...just merely mentioning that they are pouring resources into a hole that hasn't been created yet
Moto3 will be a single cylinder 250cc 4stroke made by Honda. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2011/Honda+unveils+Moto3+machine (http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2011/Honda+unveils+Moto3+machine) Unless the rules change, I don't see how KTM's 350 engine will be allowed to race. What they might do (as has been done before) is to setup an introductory and low-cost championship where everyone has their bike (engine + frame, etc).

Maybe it's just their Moto3 chassis (or something very close), with their own 350 single stuffed into it. [coffee] I'm sure it isn't an actual Moto3 bike...that's just what it's being called for now it looks like.
1290 Super Duke R :o
Like the 990 wasn't enough power ;D

Dear Santa,
I've been very good this year.
Want.
Signed,

That thing would be a hoot. [evil]
Pfft, amateurs! [laugh] Here's my "Dear Santa" wish:
(http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/KTM-Vyrus-Bikenstein.jpg)
Vyrus frame and suspension, Ducati engine, and the rest by KTM... [evil]
Totally useless as described here (http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/ktm-vyrus-frankenbike/) (and I would add: non-existant front suspension travel) but I would still want one
That's pretty sick!
Was having a beer with the boys at ktm dealer last night.
Ktm is transplanting the rc8 engine into one of their other models....

Funny that. A coworker of mine asked the other day what the most dangerous thing you would ever hear while in the military. I told him it was a crusty old warrant chuckling and saying "watch this".

rc8 is fine as-is for world super bike.
as far as motogp, they'd need to build a 4cyl, not just "tone down the cc's"...
