The GP version of a motorcycle refers to the racing motorcycles specifically designed for GP competitions. Introduction to GP: The World Motorcycle Championship, also known as the Grand Prix motorcycle racing, commonly referred to as MotoGP or GP racing, is the most important event in motorcycle road racing. Its significance in two-wheel racing is equivalent to that of F1 in four-wheel racing. It is organized by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), with each specific race hosted by the respective country of the Grand Prix. The management and dispute arbitration are handled by the MotoGP Race Committee. Introduction to GP racing motorcycles: GP-level racing motorcycles allow the selective use of 3 to 6 cylinders, with different weight limits based on the number of cylinders. Since more cylinders under a given displacement result in greater power, the minimum weight limit is increased as a balancing measure.
