wait, isn't sometime a serious crash will damage the engine or transmission? MotoGP no grid penalty like f1 if replacing damaged engine/transmission?
got...but their engine usually very reliable... and coz no tebo.. so less things to go wrong...
the famous rossi engine blow last year also due to bike over-revved while travelling mid air at full throttle at topspeed... (plus new ecu they overlooked that safety factor)

Teams without concessions – Honda, Yamaha, and Ducati – will have all engine development frozen at the start of the season, and will have to submit homologated engines before the season starts. They will have seven engines for each rider for the full season. They will also be limited to just five days of private testing with their contracted riders (i.e. the riders racing for each team during the season), though they are allowed to test at any track they choose. This testing is in addition to the official tests organized by IRTA, during the preseason and on the Monday after three races in Europe.
Teams with concessions – anyone running an Aprilia or a Suzuki – will be free to continue engine development during the season. They will also have nine engines per season, instead of seven. Perhaps most importantly, they will have unlimited testing – or rather, testing will be limited only by the special tire testing allocation, which is 120 tires per season, per rider, a limit which also applies to the non-concession teams.
