FUNCHAL (Portugal), 25 June 2013 - After a meeting between manufacturers and FIM, Youthstream and FIM Europe are glad to announce the start of a new European 300cc 2 stroke Championship next season. All the parties agreed that this series is likely to have a great success and it will be the base to take part in the FIM Motocross World Championship.
The market demand of the 2 stroke for Motocross is increasing rapidly. Youthstream plans to hold between 6 to 7 races together with the MXGP (like it is already done for the 125cc and 250cc). The suggested capacity for the technical rules is going to be from 200cc to 300cc 2 stroke.
Youthstream and FIM Europe believe a large number of riders is going to participate in this Championship, especially taking into account that the FIM MX3 World Championship will stop in 2014 and for sure there will be many riders willing to enter the new European 300cc 2 stroke series.

Two happiest camps walking away from that meeting: KTM and Athena haha...

Can I get a "hell yeah!" ?

MBR-Yamaha makes a 250 two stroke that can easily be tweaked to 300 so I would assume Yamaha was for this new class as well.
EDIT: ATKPilot99-Great question RE: MXoN impact. Can't wait to find out what the story is. How unreal would it be to have two strokes and four strokes racing against each other at the MXoN?
Meanwhile in Japan:
Btw, I'll take one please
Frankly...he could probably still smoke the field on a 125!
Other hand, this BAD FUCKING ASS and i hope DC takes notice... you cant find time at 6 races for two 15 minute practices and 2 twenty minute motos?? Here you go ill help you out, start 30 minutes earlier, have the first moto before 450s and end with the two strokes at the end of the day. It's not rocket science.
