I like the year cutoffs as they are as they're based on the engineering milestones of our sport.
*The pre 65 era marked the end of the heavyweight four stroke era before the CZ led 2 stroke revolution.
*Pre 70 marked the end of the traditional piston port pre japanese era
*Pre 75 marks the end of the traditional suspension era
*Pre '78 marks the end of the first phase of the suspension evolution.
Of course there exceptions to these cutoff dates but this are the basic milestones. I don't think they need fiddling with as they've worked well for 20 years with little drama. Leave these traditional classes well alone and worry about getting the future classing right.

I think red devil has summed it up perfectly :)

Keep the current classes as they are, just simplify by making EVERY bike available within those dates eligible, without alterations, without exceptions. Just as they were manufactured & sold.
