Moto3 2012

[Frost]

With tears in our eyes we waved goodbye to the last of the 2 stroke GP bikes. But now we have a whole new class to look forward to hopefully bringing the same unpredictability and close racing we've seen in Moto2. The proven riders have mostly moved up a class leaving behind the fresh faced youngsters to fight it out for a place on next years Moto2 grid. Will experience shine through and finally give Faubel his first championship? Will Vinales continue his impressive form? Who will come out on top, KTM of Honda?

Yes he was, but then Vinales was good all last season!

Honda have looked the bike to beat in testing with Vinales the sole KTM in the mix, but he's losing out badly on the straights.

The other brit, Danny Webb appears to be taking a big gamble by throwing his lot in with the India Mahindra team. Really hope it pays off for him!

That's the engine from the Honda. It's running a reversed cylinder with the air going in the front and the exhaust coming out the rear. They did it on the 2 stroke bikes years ago, but I don't think I've ever seen it on a 4 stroke before.

Damn that's a cool picture. I wonder how they keep the shock cool?

It doesn't work on a lot of bikes though. An IL4 is usually leaned forwards 45 degrees, A V twin can have one reverse cylinder, but the front cylinder needs to be the opposite.

Works well on a parallel twin though...
