A few of us we talking about this the other night. There are still alot of riders out there with 250's and 125's. You only have to look at the numbers for the North West to see that a race would be possible. The bikes are already there and the riders already have them available. The comment that if they brought back the 125's there would be four Dunlops at next years TT, well what a sight that would be. This is why I can not understand them getting rid of them in the first place. But then again they did say something about manufacturers not wanting to support these races. But hang on what do Moto GP run.... arrrr 125's and 250's, and if they were thinking more on the lines of UK.... oh hang on don't they have a British 125 championship? ..... oh dear....... I can just about hear that spanner hitting the cogs right now.......

The only thing I would be worried about would be the numbers of 400 runners. They are getting a bit long in the tooth as you can see from the numbers in the Manx. Why not bring back a singles race. Combine this with the 125's and I think you would have a compatable combination of machine speed and times. I think the smaller manufacturers like KTM or CCM would have big single motors available. The only reason they were taken out was that the top teams didn't like it as the likes of Honda Yamaha and Kawasaki didn't have machinery available to race. So after alot of whiening by team managers the race was scrapped in favour of all the races being exactly the same. Sorry I mean same bikes, same sounds, same riders up there winning, same results. Thats progress for ya.....
