What's the bet Casey Stoner will be seen wandering around the pits wearing HRC gear?? But I bet he won't ride no matter what.

Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

Nakamoto seems to have been quoted as saying that they fuel tank on the bike will not have a 24l capacity. So the question is, will the teams have the opportunity to build their own higher capacity tank, or would doing that risk them loosing technical assistance from HRC on the bike (which has been hinted at being available)?
Cause we all know that HRC need to walk the fine line between having the proddie racer beat the Yamaha engined bikes, and maybe the Yamaha satellite bikes, but not the Honda satellite or factory bikes.
Disclaimer: I don't actually know what I'm talking about and everything I say should be taken as words of wisdom from a armchair general/mechanic/engineer/racer.

Why?
"Faster than a MotoGP bike" seems like a tag line that would sell a lot of product....Not to mention the exclusivity of the claim, yamaha, kawa, suzuki, ducati, triumph etc can't.

Well, obviously they want it to beat the compitition, and just as obviously they don't want it to beat their leased or factory bikes that cost somewhere between 2x (leased) and 10x (factory) the proddie bike. And since the proddie bike isn't for sale to anybody other than two or three MotoGP teams, it won't make much sense to make a cheaper bike that someone could beat your much more expensive bikes on.
Note: this "proddie" bike that will race under the 'non-MSMA' or 'non-factory' designation which was formerly know as the 'CRT' class and will next year be known as the 'Open' class (fuck this is confusing) is NOT the same this as the V4 Superbike that Honda is producing for use in the 2015 WSBK series.

Going fairly quick then

Doesnt look like he set a time in FP1 and now he has been declared unfit.
It crazy that these guys even consider riding a bike with some of the injuries they have.

As Stoner stares at his phone willing it to ring...
Try Hard Wanna Be
Hardly. With MM on the scene now I doubt he would be chomping at the bit to race that mofo...
