600s to replace 250s in FIM
http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Sep/080927d.htm
Not til 2011, but this could make things interesting and improve the 600 market even more.

AWESOME!
though I wonder if they'll bitch about the corner speeds too? wonder what the weights will be? I think we'll see a much larger trickle down from them to our bikes than the full motogp bikes and AMA, WSBK |

I'm just curious how much more shit you can add to a production 600 and keep it durable and reliable. I'm sure we'll find out in 3-5 years. It's gonna be sick.
