MotoGP 2012

Soooo..........MotoGP 2013


I halfway feel that Dorna needs to have a big shakeup in MotoGP to try and get everyone to a clean slate. That would piss off Honda and Yamaha to no end, but if it encourages Ducati to stay, and maybe for Suzuki, Kawasaki and BMW to join, then it would probably be a win overall............right?

if dorna shakes thing up again i think Honda may leave

I heard the same as to when.

It's good they are playing it close to the chest, maybe they are working on something good at last. I wonder if it's an inline or a V though?

I saw a hoto that suzuki leaked themselves as a teaser a while back. you cant really see fuckall though, but it appears to be an inline crossplane, but as i said, not much can be seen from the pic.

It would be good to see something else out there. its a three make race now isnt it? (im not counting CRT as they have zero chance currently of really contesting the class )

I think space and weight are saved with and inline, and crossplane is good for mechanical traction retention, it's certainly interesting to consider the pros and cons. V4 are strong as a big bang, but run funny as a cross plane.

Currently it's a two make, 3 rider contest.

Big bangs or screamers rather than crossplane.

suzuki have been testing what is allegedly a crossplane moto gp bike, but the last thing I read was that Suzuki were aiming to return in 2014.

Think we may wee it at Misano this year.

You're gonna piss on it already?!?

More Silly Season Speculation here.

Yeah wrong button! Everyone else may wee on it though...if it's anything like their last GP bike!

The last version of the GSVR was a pearler. It was a bike any of the the MotoGP riders would've liked a go on. It's a shame Suzuki had already decided to quit cos they'd finally built themselves a bike that could compete.

I look forward to them going GP racing again. I'd dearly love to see Kawasaki back in MotoGP too. The rumours that BMW might be going GP racing are exciting too.

The more manufacturers there are in the championship the better.

I think the only thing letting the old one down badly was probably the electronics package compared to the rest.

See what Alvaro thinks of the last one.

The photos of the new one do look good, though.

I guess it is "Almost" official. Rossi is leaving Ducati

Thats a shame ,Rossi was leaving Ducati , 2 thoughts I have , one; the bike was incapable of being made to work with the tyres. two; Fuji didnt materialise ,
And this isnt about loyalty ( unfortuantly an important fact with the Japanese aka Fujisawa) its about being in a factory that can win ,

a yamaha satilite team , with basically a factory bike?

either way this ISNT helping Ducati !
