Default motoGP

I don't know if this is a dumb question or not. But, why are the engine sizes so small on the motoGP bikes?

A motogp 800 will crush an ama 1000. I watched a show about the motogp bikes, and they were talking about how the bikes are worth several million dollars!

The 250's are very entertaining. Those guys are racing for their lives.
