Message: [QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1109123, member: 16241"] If they dropped it to 144cc for a race version of the bike they would only have to shorten the stroke 1.6mm and raise the power peak about 500 rpm to 13,000. that is much more workable, and fairly simple to engineer. That's assuming they care about it as a general race bike. Given how few CRs and CRFs ever see a race track it's possible that Honda won't care if it's a SuperMini only race bike. I think they'll still sell a zillion of them. Afterall, Yamaha sells more TTR125s than KTM sells motorcycles, so the market for fun little four-strokes seems established regardless of what happens on the race track. [/QUOTE]
