Prior to that season, the intermediate class was 250\u00a0cc with two-stroke engines. Moto2 races in the 2010 season allowed both engine types; from 2011 on, only the four-stroke Moto2 machines were allowed.<\/li>\n<li>MotoGP: is the current term for the highest class of GP racing. The class was contested with prototype machines with varying displacement and engine type over the years. Originally contested by large displacement four stroke machines in the early years it eventually switched to 500\u00a0cc two strokes. In 2002 990\u00a0cc four-stroke bikes were allowed to compete alongside the 500\u00a0cc two strokes and then completely replaced them in 2003. 2007 saw a reduction to 800\u00a0cc four stroke engines to unsuccessfully slow things down a bit before finally settling on 1000\u00a0cc four strokes in 2012.<sup id=\"cite_ref-3\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Motorcycle_racing#cite_note-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grand prix motorcycles are prototype machines not based on any production motorcycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorcycle Grand Prix Main article: Grand Prix motorcycle racing Grand Prix motorcycle racing refers to the premier category of motorcycle road racing.
