"The 125cc 2-stroke machine in particular is experiencing an increased level of interestand popularity, due in part to the role it plays in our sport for amateur riders," Jansoncontinued.

Additionally, there is continued interest in these machines with our fans basedon the important historical role these 2-strokes played in the development, growth andevolution of our sport."
