Italian manufacturer Bimota is planning to become a chassis developer for private teams entering the new Moto2 600cc racing prototype class.
It's a return to the roots of the original company for Bimota, which began in the early 1970s making components for GP racing bikes.
Four-stroke 600 bikes will replace the current two-stroke 250GP format in 2011, though many expect the new Moto2 machines to race in a combined class next year before 250s are banned.
