Ducati Pulling out of WSBK

Wow.

Is this article another way of saying "We're paying Rossi a BOAT LOAD of money, so none left over for the WSBK boys"?

Crap, repost.

 

Seriously, people. If you don't actually witness a news article pop up on the news site live, you are already late. Assume that it has been posted on the BBS.

 

I know.

I let the excitement of the moment cloud my judgement.

 

It was new to me.

 

Repost or not it makes me warm inside to read it 2 times.HAHAHA.

 

What benefit do you get from seeing the ducati factory out of woudl superbike?

Just curious why you have that mentality

 

I would love to see them leave and never come back.Arrogance.100% arrogance.FUCK'EM!!Change the rules or we quit.There selling a lifestyle.Like HARLEY.LMAO.Bye Bye.The benefit?They won't be missed.Kaw'Suz'Honda'Yamaha is still there.DUCATI is a victom of there own BULLSHIT.

 

I'll miss em :tut:
lol at you comparing em to Harley. How many championships has Harley won?

So that's two points you are wrong on.

Arrogant? no.. they just demand perfection which often comes off as arrogance.
So that's three points you are wrong on.

Nice post.. now go hate somewhere else. :down:

 

Are you kidding me man?There just like harley.Hey guys AMA-FIM because we want to race twins would you please let us have lighter bikes with more cc.Go somewhere else with this bullshit dude.Not hate, fact.

 

They're.



So, fewer factories in WSBK is a good thing in your mind. Gotcha.

:crackhead:

 

Read that last night, wow!

 

ok so what about honda, aprilia, suzuki, all wera also allowed to race larger twins with the same rules as ducati, but they could not make their twins as competitive? are they sore losers also?

should ducati build an inline 4 so that they can have leftover bikes sitting on the dealer showrooms for a year? then have to dump them at below invoice?

does that help the brand? does that make them more desirable? maybe they can be like suzuki and not even import bikes one year since there are so many leftovers still on floors.

is that why honda, kawasaki, aprilia, mv, etc has pulled out of ama but ducati stayed and supported a team?

you sir are an idiot and your comments are quite juvenile. you must have been spanked by quite a few ducatis in your day to havehtat attitude.

that or you cannot afford one

 

Honda did alright with their twin...

 

yea, some ama stuff and colin in wsbk.
was that the span of about 3 years?

 

I assume you're referring to World Superbike championships only.

 

Which lifestyle is that? Complete domination of superbike racing since its inception?

 

Well played

At the end of the day, it is about competition. There are varying allowances (cc's, weight, etc) in every racing organization.

How boring would it be if every manufacturer only built I-4's that were exactly 600cc or 1000cc (or 599, 999, 998 etc) and weighed exactly the same?
