here's an interesting article from Wayne Gardner, he reckons that the CBR 1000 will soon become a v4!

Far be it for me to question Mr Wayne, but surely a new 1000cc V4 would have a different moniker than CBR. So lets assume they call it the RVF1000, will they drop the CBR, will WSBK Honda's be V4's (meaning more development time) or will they retain both models?

Stoner's like a rocket from the off on the Honda. Be afraid, be very afraid

Am impressed with Ben Spies yet again, a little way off his new team mate but definitely in the competitive zone, sweet. Rossi back in tenth, one things for sure he won't be that far back come the start of next season. There's also possibly a little subterfuge going on there too.

Have Honda installed a tip-over sensor on the bike?

Oh yes!!

Go stoner, and spies....

Lorenzo was way cool to watch at Valencia, he has such an effortless style

Haha, nicely done!

Not to much to read into the times just yet though, most folks won't be chasing ultimate lap times at this stage. You've only gotta look at Suzuki's pre-season test form in the last few years to know how much the test times mean.

Sad but true...
