	Station Information - Grand Prix motorcycle racing
		The motorcycles, particularly the 500cc machines, are made out of exotic and expensive materials, including titanium and carbon fibre, and are equipped with sophisticated electronics including telemetry, engine management, and traction control, though most machines still use carburettors because fuel injection's throttle control is not precise enough for the riders.
		Compared to Formula One car racing, as many riders are competing on near-identical bikes, and trailing riders usually have an aerodynamic advantage over the leaders, the racing is usually close and entertaining, with much overtaking.
		Yuichi Ui While the 500cc motorcycles are raced only at World Championship level, 125cc and 250cc bikes are available at relatively reasonable cost for purchase (the 125cc bikes are available for about the same as a small car), and are thus raced in national championships around the world.

	Grand Prix motorcycle racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MotoGP motorcycles are purpose-built racing machines that are not available for general purchase (road-going versions of the 125 and 250 cc machines are available); this contrasts with the various production categories of racing, such as World Superbike, that feature modified versions of motorcycles available to the public.
		From the mid-1970s until 2002 the top class of GP racing was restricted to four cylinders and 500 cc, regardless of whether the engine was a two-stroke or four-stroke.
		Races are about 45 minutes long, and as a result, it is a sprint without pitting for fuel or tires.
