I noticed that Rog said the bikes are pretty much the same spec as WSBK. This should bode well for them. I don't think the Yosh bikes were built as high spec the last few years as they had been back in the Mladin/Spies days.
So happy for Jake and his family, what a great group of people. Jake spent some time talking to a young racer and making his day, now he has a fan for life.
I have been a fan of Jake ever since he passed me up the inside coming out of turn 7 at a Road America track day many years ago like I was sitting still. I was on my R1 and he was on his R6. I was at full throttle when he went by. Needless to say I was amazed at how much more corner speed he was carrying on a tighter line and how well he timed that pass. I am glad he has a top tier Superbike ride for next year.:up:
Wow, almost 5 years ago at RA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1_HcrGU-S4&index=96&list=FLk_cZCKKzA4vF5O3wH_QZVQ
