    I actually like the new paint scheme.

    And as to the fuel...in 2007 the Ducati team gave a full unopened barrel to one of the corner workers at the Laguna MotoGP race. That was cool but I was thinking, "Um...whatcha run that in?" :)

    Pretty snazzy. Maybe it's special "low drag" paint. They're gonna need it...
    Cheers, Lee S.

    Matt H ah, mi scusi

    Once upon a time. If you actually study the history of Kawasaki, this superstition is precisely WHY they chose green as their racing color. They believed in technology over anything else.

    (actually, the history of the Japanese manufacturers is truly quite interesting, especially how it seems to trickle into the bikes over the years. For example, while Kawasaki always believed in pushing the envelope and having the most raw power and the coolest technology, Yamaha from its outset believed that a bike had to merge what is the "machine" of a great bike with how it looks - that is, it has to be good looking just as, if not more importantly, than how it performs).

    Exactly this from what I heard, Kawi was thumbing their noses at 'bad luck' and basically saying they could overcome the bad luck of running green bikes.

    I am so

    screwed.

    Last weekend at Rd Atl (new pers best 1:21.2, T1 FLAT in 5th and pulls 5th up the hill, 3G's at apex...

    I got a great deal on the car, and one of the trade conditions was that I would get black replacement bodywork - the color is made into the gelcoat of the GRP body.

    After some time, the BRG started to grow on me, so much so that I am threatening to paint my old '84 SR5 'yota truck to match.

    I hope it goes better than it looks. I am still holding out hope for Hayden and Rossi.

    backcountryme Word to your mother.

    I love how one bad season makes the bike (a brand new bike that no one has really seen run hard yet) a shit pile. Ha, you bunch are worse then high school girls when a pretty new girl moves into your school.

    Think it has to do with how the color actually comes out on TV, or something like that...
