in their first two years with the new formula, racing side by side, the new 4 stroke MotoGP bikes were faster everywhere on the track than the two stroke "zenith" GP bikes they were replacing . . . from day 1. this year they lost almost 200cc (80% the displacement), but are even faster yet 
just like F1, the technology increases every year. those old 2-strokes look like dinosaurs compared to the new machines. i was sad when they changed the rules . . . until i saw the first race with them running together.

i don't think my butt could handle that much sitting in one spot 
true, there was not much "racing" in the F1 race, but it sure was impressive to watch Hamilton slide the McLaren around between the barriers like that
