Glad they're not killing off the "literbikes", but don't agree with them killing off the 600 class either, and replacing it with thr proposed "Moto-ST". class.
As I mentioned before, I think the class structure should be:
1000cc superbikes
1000cc Superstock
600cc Superbikes
600cc Superstock
but, what the hell..

"...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

So, according to this article, the Superbike class will be the 600s (middleweight power) and the "Literbike" class sounds like the current Superstock class with fewer GSXRs allowed to play. (That is, if "max participation limit" means only so many Brand X bikes can be on the grid. If that's true, who decides who can or can't ride Brand X?)
If all of this is true, this restructuring could be turned into the best ad campaign ever for Suzuki -
"We won so many races that they had to change the rules."
