@purpleGoAhead I am partially with you on that one. You HAVE to go to 4 stroke motor for city use, way more practical. Doesn't load up when idles, doesn't foul nearly as many spark plugs and less smog. And for me it has to be fuel injected and water cooled with modern technology.

The powers that be will only ban it from MotoGP competition if it proves to be as fast or faster than the prima donna 4 strokes. They did it with the 2 strokes, when they saddled the 1/2 size 2 strokes with so many disadvantages and it still won, they went ahead and banned the strokers altogether, this way they won't get embarressed by old school strokers. The 4 strokes could be up to 5 cyls and 1000cc, but the 2 strokes could be no bigger than 500cc and only 4 cyl;s.

i think it has to do with the fact that it is a rotary, exhaust gas temps in rotarys tend to be considerably hotter than most piston engines. it might be on race gas, that could make it hotter as well.
