Its never too early to start discussing ideas for rule changes. As you said, it would be a rule voted on at the end of 2010 and possibly go into the book for 2011. When the rules suggestions open up for next season, we can just bump this thread back up to the top.

With that said, I think the idea of taking out the GTO classes for novices will only decrease the grids. I am 100% for a new rider to start out on a 600cc or less, however many already have 1000cc bikes and converting them over is easier then being forced to sell and re-buy.

Keeping the structure as it is, the 1000cc bikes already have a disadvantage in the amount of classes they can run. I think this gives the notion for a rider to ride a 600, but doesn't force it to be that way.
