But the number of cylinders in the engine determines bikes minimum weight. Extra cylinders work like a handicap – the more you have, bigger will be your allowed minimum weight. But this is understandable, because more cylinders are capable of producing more bhp. Also fuel capacity was restricted to 21 liter per race (from 26). However this was needed, because there is no power restriction in MotoGP. After that regulation very powerful engines were not able to last long enough on just 21 liters of fuel. They were tuned for less power output and more fuel economy. Maximum power output is around 240bhp, and revs are reaching 18000! Most used configuration is V4 or Inline-4, although other types are allowed too. MotoGP bikes use only highest quality fuel, with Octane number of 100 (iso-octane). Highest MotoGP motorcycle speed was clocked at whopping ~354km/h! This record was set by Dani Pedrosa on the Repsol Honda RC212V 800cc. Interesting fact is – average human brain cannot cope with speeds more then 200-220km/h. Reactions will be not fast enough to brake, turn or accelerate in the right moment. So if you try to ride MotoGP bike on the racing track, you will crash. That’s why any professional drivers, be it F1 or MotoGP, need at least 7-8 years of hard training.
