Motoamerica silly season

Danny is riding the TOBC bike in the 200. Not sure if he is on it for the rest of the season.

 

Any word on Gerloff and Beach? Are they staying on R6's in SuperSport?

 

Have you ridden the Yamaha and Kawasaki? I'm in no position to make a judgment, and I am sure your praise for the Duc is well-earned, but perspective is a whole other story.

 

In fairness, no I haven't (obviously nobody has ridden the new Ninja) and I am sure Eddie will say the R1 is the better bike.

I am basing my comments/opinion on my experience with other Liter bikes I have ridden (previous Gen R1, Gixxer 1k, RSV4 and previous Gen ZX10). And even on some of the MW bikes I have ridden. This Panigale is lighter, has better brakes and changes directions better than my Gixxer 750, any of my ZX6R's or my 675 did in SS trim.

I am sure the new R1 is a kickass bike. And in all honesty, all of the modern Liter bikes are more capable than we are. Whether I am/was on a 1299, ZX or R1, if/when I lose, it wouldnt be because of the bike.

 

I'm seriously excited about the new Honda. With Nicky running so well I hope they do the right thing and give him the right bike. I am super stoked.

But that Panni you have is badass to say the least. I may have to come sit on it.

Ive killed people for less than that.

 

I just need to know the Black Friday/Saturday holiday blowout price for the 675...

 

If I get along well with the Duc (and I can't see why I won't), the R6 will be up for sale in March.

And BTW - it only has about 25 laps on it since having the motor, suspension and braking systems completely refreshed.

I will be able to do 5 classes on the Duc, so I wont have a need for a MW bike. Instead I will either get another 1299S as a backup, or maybe one of the new 959's.

 

But what about the Triumph? - I got three fiddy!

 

I got Tree fiddy myself on that R6

 

Is KAWASAKI not coming back as a factory effort over there for 2016, with the new rocket ship from hell

 

I heard they weren't interested.

 

Not likely, they haven't had a "factory" effort since 2009 if I recall.

 

OK then. Kawasaki USA supporting a team to race there brand in the highest level class in the USA

 

Doubt it. Kawi has been non existent. Biggest 1000 market in the world and they don't think racing will sell bikes it looks like.

 

Some one must have seriously pissed them off some how

 

Yep. Not sure how. Or they just decided that it doesn't help sell bikes.

 

What's Aprilia doing? Are they going to run two bikes again with Morais and ??

 

They have WSBK to sell them via racing. They are like Godzilla tearing through Tokyo there, they don't need wins at VIR or LaGooooona to sell to the casual race fan.

The steakheads, stutahs and squids don't care about and can't spell motoamerica.
