Re: the new rules. The only problem with the new rules is the outlawing of 2-strokes, and that historically speaking it should be 750ccs, I mean who makes a 800cc motorcycle?

The 800cc rule has been brought in specifically so that production based (750cc) engines cant be used and purpose built race engines must be produced by the factories. This is the same reason that the current limit is 990cc not 1000cc. Otherwise it would be easy for them to use engines based on their superbike engines. They want to maintain a distinction between MotoGP and Superbikes with MotoGP being the premier category.
