The stuff above could quite be right, maybe with the 800's having less grunt we will se less lighting of the rear, though im not sure about that tbh... they seem to high side quite happily so they can lose traction easily.
People say with no TC it will become dangerous. IMO it would be less dangerous, the crashes atm are much worse when they happen now! What happens is that when the tyres do let go because even the aids cant help the back slides/spins up the TC kicks in the back grips and BAM rider gets air time.
Who knows what would happen with a change in rules... IMO it cant get worse as a specticle.

I don't think corner speeds would drop without TC - remember TC works on corner exit - most riders will trail brake to an a apex, so mid corner speeds would be similar - It just affects the way the get on the gas. That was why I asked when TC was introduced, because I think a lot of what is described isn't necessarily solely TC, but also related to the capacity change, which altered the way riders were able to ride the bike. Remember - even in the 'good ol' days' riders still didn't overtake on the gas! Yes, if they got good drive and into the next corner or onto straight, but never/rarely on the corner exit - the bikes are just too evenly matched on power, regardless of electronics.
