The lightweights are usually really close! I thought the 250cc 4 strokes would be less exciting to watch than the previous 125cc 2 strokes. I guess not! As for MotoGP I'm rooting for Rossi since he's an "old" man in this sport.
As for the fuel tanks on the big bikes I remember Honda tried fuel tank below the engine on the 500cc 2 stroke GP bikes which Freddie Spencer test rode (maybe raced). He said it made handling much worst in spite of low C.G. of fuel. So Honda ditched that idea.
I love watching slow-motion videos of GP riders powering out of turns laying down rubber while still leaning. Talk about precision and bravery.
