Think of what it weighs.

I almost cried when they switched the 500cc 200+hp YSR's, NSR's, and RGV's (etc) 4 cylinder engines to the "big bang" configuration...was ready to throw myself off a cliff when they went 4-stroke. Racing hasn't been the same since the pre "big bang" 2-stroke days, it's not even exciting to watch today's MotoGP racing in comparison.
