Hoping to continue the brand&#8217;s domination in the middle-class of GP racing, Aprilia&#8217;s Moto2 effort surely suffered from the fact that a Honda CBR motor would reside inside the Italian company&#8217;s prototype machine. The conflict of interest is surely understandable, although ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/aprilia-moto2-race-bike-photo/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>15</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Moto2 Costs €700,000 per Season &#8211; Moto2 Bikes Are Over 10x Cheaper than 250GP</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/moto2-costs-700000-euros-per-season/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/moto2-costs-700000-euros-per-season/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:20:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[250GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aprilia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aprilia RSA 250]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cost]]></category> <category><![CDATA[costs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Economics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moto2]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RSA 250]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RSV]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sutter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[teams]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=9032</guid> <description><![CDATA[Spanish news site AS.com has an interesting story that breaks down the cost teams will have to bear in the new Moto2 600cc prototype series. Moto2 replaced 250GP for one main reason: money. The series was designed to be cheaper to enter and cheaper to compete in, as well as having bikes that were more analogous to what is making it into consumers' hands on the showroom floor. So did Moto2 live up to these goals? The answer as AS.com found out is a resounding yes.

The enthusiastic Spainiard reached for the sky on a monster wheelie, and apparently didn&#8217;t know when to call it quits, looping the bike around. Luckily, no one was injured.
