Post: RE: Moto 3 bikes at the TT
| A KTM RC390 sounds good to me,but we are back to the problem of not much variety again. Moto 3 is too expensive. |

Thread: Moto 3 bikes at the TT
Post: RE: Moto 3 bikes at the TT
| I agree,we had diversity,but that was taken out of the TT in 05. The problem with Moto 3 is the cost of running one. £750 for a piston anyone? 125s yes,it worked in the past,cant see why not now. |

| Give him a couple of weeks to calm down before you judge anything Guy says over the next few days. He is on the podium so he isnt far off. |
