So, they put seals on the cam cover? Meaning the teams can't even adjust the valves?

This four stroke thing has gotten way out of hand. Now its infected road racing in the tiddler class too? A 250cc spinning at 13,000 rpm to make the same power of a 125cc two stroke that has max revs of about 8,000 rpm makes the four stroke a heavy, complicated exploding cigar. And those Ti valves don't bend or break, they shatter, and ruin everything, from the crank to the transmission.

I say they have a vintage Honda 305cc Dreamcycle class. You will be able to hear those mainshafts snapping up in the nose-bleed section of the seats.

Don't they do that in Japan? And the riders dress up in football gear, the starts are handicapped, and the Yakuza bet on the results?
