HERE'S THE first pics of the BDR Honda MotoGP2 prototype bike, just been launched by the team in Madrid.

Details are sketchy about the final bike at the moment, but we understand it's a tweaked 600cc proddie motor with a tiny, prototype frame around it.

Which raises the question; apart from a bit of frame work, how is this different to the World Supersport machines?

Because unless it is different, there's going to be one hell of a legal fight between the two championships...

i think the moto gp class, albeit at the expense of 250's sounds a bit exciting especially as they will be using items like this

Front brake: Disc of 300 mm, tweezers of four pistons and radial anchorage Galfer

do you think this will trickle down to road bikes, i would love some tweezers of four pistons, and radial anchorage on my road bike lol

R1 loon

What does this mean? "Weight in sequence of march"

The best has to be "Rims of forged magnesium"

The only bit missing is "BHP: By the power of Grayskull"
