new engines Ed.

Ed. I was thinking last couple of days about engines, chassis and electronics...
I think that the jap 4 are in a lot of trouble, since the aprillia has so much potential, the bmw is simply optimus prime!!!!!

All engines are 20+30 hp down on power from bmw and making a bike that maintenance intervals is normal with that much power I think will make them change a couple of things like head configuration.

electronics, yamaha is the only one with something interesting, but weights like a ton.

what do you think?

"I think will make them change a couple of things like head configuration."

I dont know about other brands much. Suzuki cams are specialy agresive and when you put more agresive cams the service intervals tend to get soooooner.
I supose and im pretty shure that the power race its on now with the bmw making way more power
I see that bmw, suzuki in gp, and other brands are using or used like fingers or arms so the cam does not need to be so huge.
Also the bores will have to grow. To like 80mm or more.

The revs will go up and valve seat material
