Sweet!
Interesting about Michelin going to the 16" front tyre. Never really worked for Honda road bikes from what I understand. What would the logic be in that switch?

Lets see, 17" was better than 18", 16.5" better than 17", so 16" better than 16.5"? Just a long shot ya know......why not just jump straight to that 15.5", save alot of mucking around wouldnt it, and why is it still in inches anyway? Hey, this new 400mm front works sweet......hmmmm

Less unsprung weight (probably only by a fraction) but more importantly less inertia. Makes the bike easier to turn. Have a look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_inertia).

Good to see perdrobot being beaten by real riders, even though Colin Edwards can be a bit of a Tosser (like when he knocked slighty off in '99:nono: )

Yeah I remeber an interview with him in some magazine after that feat from Hockenheim.
"So tell me, what does it feel like to do 200mph on one of these bikes?"
"Not really any different from 199"
Who says the Japs don't have a sense of humour?
