    I dunno, I mean I like to see competitive racing just like everyone else.

    BUT-Continuing competition is good for developing new products and eventually trickling down to us poor slubs.

    I'm torn where I think it sucks that just cranking open the throttle and letting the ECU sorting it out is a load of crap to watch on the race track. I do think its great to have that on the street

    would mean following Formula 1 and banning traction control.

    A standard ECU was the only way to ensure compliance in F1. Traction control was banned before, as was launch control and teams found a way to hide it.

    MotoGP knows this, and a standard ECU is the way to ensure compliance.

    No way, if I want a rider's only competition we'll get them all on spec CRF50s assigned at random. This is a rider and MACHINE team competition, let the mfgs pull out every stop and show us what they can do.

    thank god. it's been turning into 2-wheeled F1

    I'm all for manufacturers advancing technology, but this is a sport and humans are supposed to be a significant factor. I got a sinking feeling reading the roadracingworld article about riding the new 800s, but maybe they'll get it back on the right path.

    great rainey quote: “500s were probably too dangerous even after the big bang motors came along, but when they changed to four-stroke 990cc bikes that problem was really fixed. Big four-stroke engines allow wide powerbands, but still require riders to respect the limits. With traction control it looks like the bikes are too easy to ride.”

    Exactly. It's becoming a race of technology not riders.

    I mean, what's next? Lining the bikes up on slot tracks and cracking the throttle wide open?

    One ECU, one tire, no electro-assistance other than to deliver fuel.

    The jury is still out on F1 with single tire, though they will go back to slicks in 2009 - YES!!

    Forget where I read it, but I just saw a quote from an article on another forum that said the first time Rossi rode the old Honda equipped with traction control that he told Jeremy Burgess it was "Fucking boring"
