I'm my opinion, greatest sport in the world as-is. Tracks do need more dirt. Ps. Two strokes aren't coming back.
350s would be a good step however, the guys on the 250s can do every obstacle as it is anyway.
Ideally it would be 125s and 250 2 strokes, it will always showcase the talent.
How long are you guys going to hang onto the 2-stroke thing. It's dead in pro MX/SX, get over it.

The problem is motocross, unlike something like karting which was never so culturally weak as to move to 4-stroke engines, is you relyon road-going manufacturers. But I reckon KTM would do it. TM would be do it. There's a whole ton of manufacturers who'd do it.
But its fine... We will eventually end up with electric bikes, complaining that "4 strokes were better" haha =/
The current 250 class remains 250, but restrictions on modifications set in place
The current 450 class would race 250s, restrictions on modifications removed
Motocross
keep the same as it is now
This way the manufacturers don't have to re-invent the wheel, and they would not be producing a bike that the pros do not race
The answer is put them on ttr230s and let the best rider win
This would be perfect.
Or even 250 stock and 250 ‘mod’ this is the most realistic possibility with the manufactures but let’s be real.
Untill the manufactures start making anything other than 250 and 450s we will have the same 2 classes
250 Supercross uses current rules but written for a 250.
However, it seems most overwhelmingly agree with me. 2 strokes were the greatest era. Truth hurts I guess.
It's a fact that 2 strokes took a higher skill level to ride at the highest level. DV recently said something to the effect of, if you f**ked up in a rhythm on a 2-stroke...you died...a 4-stroke, you just blip the throttle again. As usual, he is dead on.
I think most reasonable people agree... 4-srokes have outgrown supercross stadiums. They've made SX comparable to gymnastics. Start assist/start grates, practiced to death, blip, blip, blip that throttle. We're dangerously getting like NASCAR....read: boring. No wonder we're not growing.
Electrics? Every video Ive seen of electrics bores the shit out of me.
A stadium filled with nothing but "wrrrrrr....wrrrrr....wrrrrrr".... .how exciting. Not. I will lose interest at that point as the sport will have devolved too far for my tastes.
Pit Row
At each round, the "Fast 80" is defined in combined, all rider qualifying. 1-40 go to the "premier" night show and 41-80 go to the lower tier class.
Both classes earn points for the combined season championship, but the "premier" class earns more points (weighted).
Must use the same make/model bike for the entire event. Tracks will be designed to create an advantage for certain types of bikes week to week but track maps will not be released in advance. Tracks will also be drastically different than they are now. No more cookie cutter designs with consistent jump heights and gaps that the riders do in their sleep. Riders might very well show up to a 1986 Anaheim replica.
So, you might see Webb on a 450 one week, a 250 the next. You might see a guy like Jett qualify in the Top 40 and win the premier class on a given night. You might see a guy like Roczen have a crappy qualifying session because he picked the wrong bike and go to the lower class for that night and lose some points.
And most of all, the tuff blocks in the 1st turn will be anchored solidly so as not to kick out and cause huge pileups and ruin the races.
eliminate e start and efi and force the price of bike lower, since i really dont care about pro racing, im tiring to keep the local races and tracks alive and an unlimited class will only hurt that
Stock in the regional feeder class/ full works in premiere class.
If you want to lug it just click up a gear and it lugs. If you want to rev it, just keep it in second or third and it revs, and shit starts going by really quickly.
The newest 450's have the capability to be either a pussycat or a lion, depending on how you ride them.
Indoor any stroke 125's East and West. . And any stroke Main class 250's.
Outdoors Strokers only. 250F's for the young-ans and 450F's for the big boys.
This will solve these problems.
1). We want 2 strokes
2). We want to slow down SX
3). We want a more balanced stepping stone for armatures
4). We don't want to kill either type of motor.
So many people are scared of an open class, but you would kill two birds with one stone. You would be letting the two strokes in, but no one would race them anyways, just like the MEC. We already have riders using their 250s successfully to qualify for the night show in the 450 class, not sure what the big deal is? 350s are legal right now if someone wants to run one.
I’m not sure why anybody is so worried about the bike size anyways, both classes tear up the track equally, and before every race we have a 15 to 20 minute break when they go out and make the track smooth again.
I know Cairolli used to run "not 450cc" bikes in MXGP a few years ago but I never heard 350cc were allowed in SX.
Thats interesting. No one is using tho.. (I think..)
