Well, they used to have 500cc two smokes, so 1000cc four strokes is about right.

I don't know why we don't get 800cc bikes.....It's a damn shame.

1000ccs are just too much power.

I've raced less than a handful of times in my life, but I do know, when you're in second, there's no such thing as too much power.

The critical thing is being able to access all the power. Delivery and traction are the key. The 800s are so powerful they need lots of electronics, but hell so are WSBK engines. 1000s will be the same as the 800s unless they work out an agreement on a spec ECU. They will be however more reliable, thus cheaper to field, maybe bumping up the number of bikes on the grid.

The 1000 is much harder to ride, and has less corner speed. And as stated, you can never have too much power

Some people don't like peaky powerbands, where you have to ride at 10000rpm just to be in the torque curve.

Who is "we"? You can buy a GSXR750 tomorrow if you want... What's unfortunate, is that there isn't a class for it. I still don't understand why the GSXR isn't eligible to race in Daytona sportbike...
