    The point is YOU could get good laptimes out of a Superbike. You probably wouldn't be able to get the tyres warm enough on a GP bike to beat your Superbike laptimes.

    The Prototypes are more than just a slightly stiffer roadbike and the guys that get the best out of them are not merely good riders.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    That's just economics. Around the time you were born it was pretty dire too, with beteen 12 and 17 bikes on the grid depending on injury. The 500s were a lot harder on riders.

    Obviously I like Kawasakis, Though I've owned more Suzuki's. But this decision by Chris to my way of thinking is an EPIC FAIL. I assume he has been strung along by Suzuki for years saying, yes Chris san, next years bike will be the shit, only now to move across to a team that are perennial struggler's in the superbike world. Is he a glutton for punishment or what? There is no shortage of competitive bikes in Superbike..... Yamaha, Ducati, Honda, Aprillia, and even BMW and Suzuki are not far behind, so WHAT THE FUCK CHRIS?????

    If I remember correctly, Chris isn't being paid by Suzuki this year.

    I think Chris V also offered his services to Tech 3 for next year free of charge!
    Maybe the Kawi deal was all he could get or was offered? There arent that many good rides left in WSBK is there? Second seat at Aprilia, maybe a Stiggy Honda if they return, or a privateer Ducati ride .....
