Motogp: 1000cc 4 cylinder, prototype engines, high state of tune. Highest weight.
Moto2: 600cc 4 cylinder, control engines made by honda, medium/average state of tune. Similar weight to motoGP.
Moto3: 250cc 1 cylinder, prototype engines, high state of tune, ridiculously light weight, tiny tyres.
Moto3 is 250cc, NA single-cylinder bikes, making around 50hp
Moto2 is 600cc, NA inline-four bikes (engines all identical, produced by honda), making approximately 140hp
MotoGP is 1000cc, NA four-cylinder bikes, making approximately 240-260hp. These bikes must be complete prototypes, which is why MotoGP is often compared to F1 in terms of status. For reference, MotoGP bikes are the fastest accelerating land-based race machines anywhere in the world outside of dedicated drag weapons. However, due to the natural disadvantages of two-wheels compared to four, many car-racing series of lesser status outclass MotoGP for overall lap times.

Why don't they just use 4 wheels then?

I don't know. Why don't formula one have closed wheels for better aero?
>>13823895
That's enough from you

I think the only natural disadvantage of two wheels is the inability to use downforce.

Not sure if it's also a result of lack of downforce, but braking is also shithouse compared to four-wheelers.

Because somersault.
