What is the average age voting? 12-16 or what?

the problem with the poll is there should be an option to vote for the big bore class to be an 'open' class - meaning that any of these bikes could take part. thats what the UK big bore class is in the MCF pro championships runs like - and that best way in my opinion. they arnt even on the right page in vitalmx!

When someone says the words "big bore" the first thing that pops in my head is a KX500 or CR500, not a 450cc bike or a 350cc bike that isn't even in production yet (refering to the new KTM).

But I do agree that an "open" class shoud be open to any size or type engine.

Are they talking 2 stroke, 4 stroke??? both?? Why not a poll about do you want the return of 2 stroke in pro racing instead of this......

 Same here. I would think two stroke.

350 is the displacement for the BIG BORE class???
What are those little dolls thinking???
I cannot see other BIG BORE as a 500 cc, but I agree on the open class idea.

I think many of them are thinking "what are those old guys thinking"?

That's what they be brought up with and understand just as us "old guys" understand try Open bikes. Many think it's all about what's "fastest" not about the developed skill it take to ride an "Open" bike fast.

Don't get mad at people that don't understand. Perhaps an influx of emails from people wondering why we need a fixed displacement and not just a truly 'open' class to Vital MX is in order.

Constructive criticism is much better/effective them criticism ATMO.

I had a change of mind.

If it were up to me I would still have three classes.

But they would be just like the "old" days.

125cc  2 or 4T

126 to 250cc 2 or 4T

250 and up 2 or 4T single cylinder

KTM and Husaberg (maybe others) have developed 500 plus cc bikes. They should have a place to use them.
