[split] Supertwins vs Moto3 etc
Well ok, road racing on the telly, bloke who "invented" the class wins, not close racing at the front. Bikes are not used anywhere apart from some road racing meeting and the TT.
If I'm honest, I would like to see Moto 3 instead of these. Pure bred race bikes, close racing, different manufacturers.
IMO, lose these and bring in Moto 3, especially at the TT

I think a little unfair on Ryan? There were no small bikes left racing and this class has brought them back.

i for 1 will hold my hand up and say im all for them there the only class that oferrs anything remotly different and a very competative class for the many riders who make up the numbers
also ryan gets far too much stick when he should be given credit for what hes done for the sport
i would like nothing better than a full grid of 2 strokes but i know that will not happen as there just isnt any around and as for moto 3 some of the prices ive heard for parts is just far to high to be a option for most
Fair enough, he has brought a new and different class to road racing. And he has put in the effort, he's got the backing and the racers, and the organisers to follow him.
But, its not the future, most of the riders are middle aged, the class is not used hardly anywhere else. OK I agree that Moto3 bikes and spares are exceptionally expensive at the moment as bike manufacturers try to fund their racing campaigns. But I still think Moto3 will be the future in the smaller classes. And I really look forward to them at the TT soon.
Sooner the better
In addition, moto2 bikes are starting to become available If the Norton can circumvent the rules.........................................

That'll never catch on!
