From RacerX - Ask Ping: An outdoor 125 series is likely to happen next year...... during the nationals.
And "test pilot for the Mexican space program". lmao.

Who's got 125cc "National Champion" for 2018????? I'm more excited for this than any other racing all year.

Now we just need to have equal displacement in the 250 class and they're golden.
Can we skip Supercross? Better yet bring them indoors.
I have a revolutionary idea, why dont we have 3 classes:125, 250 and open?
He heard this news and saw the bat signal.
I'm so tired of hearing that the manufacturers don't want to go back to 2-strokes... give me a break. If Honda doesn't want to build a 2-stroke, then they can neglect that class and concentrate on their 4-strokes. Bring on the races!
They can sit on the sidelines and see what becomes of it.
Yamaha
KTM
Husqvarna
TM (probably have to order it...but you can get it)
Pit Row
Don't like it? Here's an idea, start producing them again and maybe just maybe they will sell.

If beta n sherco made thier 125 enduro into mx models that be a few more.
How the dirt bike industry can continue to ignore the popularity of the two stroke is beyond me. It was stupid to get rid of them at the pro level in the first place and this sport has suffered heavily for it.
Especially the "Honda will never build a 2-stroke motorcycle!" part.
Hope this happens
Now if they don't have some insane rules about what you can run, the field will be interesting.
As mentioned Sherco and Beta have brand new models that haven't even hit the U.S. yet. Both have downsized frames and all new engines with the latest technology, Sherco with standard e-start and Beta optional. If you can make a 20 year old Japanese bike competitive, there is no doubt these things could do the job.
