No mention of motocross frames or Moto450 rules just a max capasity of 450 so looks like Tigcraft and the like frames would be alowed. Could be a whole new chalange for some of the disafected riders out there.

Interesting, very interesting. It would be great if we could push for larger Mono engines in the future. I will sleeve down to 450 cc for next years Manx in the worst case.
