Are the Moto 3 engines using the max. bore size of 81mm?

I find it hard to get the latest specs of the Moto 3 engines, of both the main players, Honda and KTM. At one point, it appeared that manufacturers might just back off on that max. bore size when the Moto 3 rpm limit was dropped from 14,000, and, rumoured to drop further than 13,500rpm ( the current rpm limit imposed?). In pursuit of more low / mid range, as, in 250 4t Road Racing terms, a rev limit of 13,500 is pretty bloody low.

As there is no rev limit in MX2 ( I reckon it would be a good idea to at least emulate Moto 3s limit), the 81mm bore might just get put to use in MX2. Current SXF250 bore size is 78mm, isn't it?

You can generally tell there's a big update coming the next year from KTM when they go to Orange frames on the 'std' variety models...... Whistling
