Those front Bridgestones seem pretty hot tho!! who else saw the pics of Elias with his knee, arse, elbow, peg, handlebar etc etc on the ground at Sepang???
Ivan's kinda right, wouldn't it be nice to see them riding without aids again?? But the best riders will still win, 'casue it is only an aid, its not doing th whole thing for you. It does make slower riders closer tho...which creates closer racing!! so..is it all bad??

Bring back the 500cc 2 stroke I say

But I would say that im a 2stroke freak.

Because 1 stroke isnt enough and 4 strokes is wasting 2 strokes 2 many
GO the 2 stroke

That's right!

Here's a picture of Hopkins's Suzuki handling badly......and like I've said several times....Hopkins is well used to having to ride his Suzuki like this!

Finn......how 'bout that $1000.00 bet mate?

**Crasherfromwayback** · 31st January 2007, 21:42

Better have said picture then...

You're on and just so we're clear, you're saying Hopkins will win the 07 MotoGP on a Suzuki? This will be easy money. Can I have it know?

HAHAHA yeap, that'll do nicely, shame its Capirex rather than Elias eh?? Still, go the old boy!! Just like Frankie, only far more famous and less prone to waving fingers in Englishmens face's whilst wearing a dressing gown over somthing said englishman didn't do...not that he hadn't before.....

Race day will be a different story.

Edit: That Honda sure is a good looking bike.

I'm willing to bet you $1000.00 (and yes I'll payup if I lose) Hopkins wins a race this year.....or if you'd rather.....The same amount he wins a world Moto GP title before he's done.

You can't lose mate...he is after all....useless right?

We can both forward the coin on to a trusted KB member to hold.....

Here was my offer Finn......you in our out?

You're back peddling. The thread is about MotoGP 07, not once race. To clarify, Suzuki don't stand a chance at the title in 07.

I'm not back peddling mate.......I took you to task over the skill of Hopkins.
So it appears you're the one in reverse....

Don't try your car sale tactics on me mate.

Too late....

**Ivan** · 1st February 2007, 09:23

So crashers getting $1000 im guessing as FIn seems to backing out of it

John Hopkins need's shoulder sliders, I haven't seen many people lean a bike like him. Still I am willing to bet that neither Vermeulen or Hopkins wins a race this year, I'm not saying the bikes are bad, becuase they have already been pretty fast and I'm not saying the riders are bad, there is not a single bad rider in the MotoGP, just based on Suzuki's overall performance last year, with the exception of Chris Vermeulen in Phillip Island, the whole package is just not up to the standard of the front runners and with a whole new bike for the team to get used to, I find it unlikley that they will get a race win.

I think that both riders are very talented, but Hopkins has not done anything impressive in the motoGP yet, since 2002 when he started, his best ever finish was 4th. He was outclassed last year by the tiny Danni Pedrossa and baby face Casey Stoner in their first year on a GP bike. Myabe John Hopkins just isn't cut out for the GP bike.
