    KTM is in a different position than they were when that bike came out. I do think it would sell. They sell out of the KTM Kramer knock-offs every year. :crackup:

    Move M. Marquez or Jorge Martin alongside Pedro. Binder and Miller to GasGas.

    Or…Martin/Acosta factory, Binder/M. Marquez GasGas with full 2025 spec bikes. Jack to WSBK.

    They would have to go back on the statement made by the headman, that it's "irresponsible" to sell such high powered sportbikes to the public. All the while, their biggest ADV bike is making nearly those same power numbers :rolleyes:

    Dave K DaveK über alles!

    Everything I’ve read and heard in interviews with him, he’d race lawnmowers at the county fair given the chance.
    Shit, he’d probably do it this year along with motogp the Daytona 200, the Suzuka 8hr and the 24hrs of LeMons in a 96 Pontiac sunfire.

    I can't imagine that he wouldn't have some fun in America.

    He’d be a god here and like herpes, we’d never get rid of him. :D

    More like Elias and Crutchlow although only one of them raced here. :D
    Mladin went back to kangarooland.
    Biaggi still hanging in Kali part of the year?

    MM93 - I am a fan, but he has actually let me down a bit so far. I don't see any factories really wanting him unless he turns it around quickly.

    Acosta is on a different level and on a lesser bike. MM93 has nothing for him. The kid (right now at least) is better at riding and also smarter. As we age, we rely on using our heads to make up for what we lose in reflex. Marc is not doing that. Maybe he will turn it around?

    BigBird blah

    well he did have a mechanical it seems in the sprint race, and is the only 2023 Duc that has been competitive

    I meant GP race, but yeah you get the point. He looks like he has to override the 2023 Ducati to some extent as well.

    The stupid asshole MM93 didn't have a mechanical. He ran out of talent and dumped the bike.

    Every great athlete has their rise and fall. I think Marquez is easily faster than most of the grid, but watching him ride the Ducati seems unnatural. I don't think it suits his style at all and he's still head and shoulders above the other GP23s.
     
  15. HPPT

    HPPT !!!

    And at least one GP24.

    It sure looked like that specific GP24 rider had finally unlocked the go fast formula this past weekend but ultimately he sought comfort in Honda alley - but it's encouraging to see him in the top 10 in both races - hopefully he returns to his former vice-champ confidence and fitness soon. (I have a wager and I don't wanna be the one buying lunch - he needs to finish ahead of Zarco in points). :)

    Going for the lead and crashing, (when you know that you are having brake problems) was the move of a spoiled brat - not a typical champion caliber rider move.
