Too many different opinions here, just like the real thing - some of the masses want to stop the fastest rider/bike combo - others want a series devilishly fast (well faster than super bikes anyway) and the rules that make your hero go the fastest are indubitably the best, so 18 different sets of rules abound this weekend.
Hard to make a decision and stick to it. |

Go back to the 990's,and yes, they had TC.Keep tire rules the same.No fuel limit.If you want to carry the extra 7 lbs for an extra gallon,have at it.Add 2-3 more races and not have the insanely long layoffs,Out of sight,out of mind.If some one is faster than you, tough shit,hire his fucking technical team or simply go faster.There,that would do it for me.

only one rule needed...
minimum weight of bike to be no less than 150kg dry.. everything else open. if you can figure out how to use a radial 12cyl stunt plane engine then go for it... no rules..

Oh and all riders to look good.
Failing good looks they must have good sense of humour and showmanship. That pretty much eliminates Pedrosa

roll displacement back to 990cc.
Roll fuel all the way back to 24 liters. Minimum rider weight = 60kg. With 990s a weight rule is pointless, but I suspect it will eliminate Pedrosa. It doesn't matter if you have TC, or GPS, or any other gadget b/c there is massive power at every rev range. Riders don't need to rely on electronics b/c electronics can't point-and-shoot  At least, not yet. 
-------------------- Next DORNA rule: Rider minimum weight = 60kg. If Ezy thinks I'm going to idolize a 5' emaciated horse jockey he's sadly mistaken. Enough broken bones and sunken in faces, this is getting disgusting.
