The 800s are faster!

I think having it connected directly to his ball bag would be better!

not sure if hes hit puberty yet so its effectiveness might be limited .....

Nah....he's got nuts alright!

From what I've read, he is having trouble getting behind the smaller fairing on the 800, so is causing quite a bit of drag. He is also having to work to change his riding style from the "point and squirt" to more of a 250cc style carrying more corner speed due to the changes in the 800.
And you're probably right, he's more than likely doing the majority of the development work like last year cos Gibbernau jnr.... i mean Deposer... sorry, Pedrosa, appears to be Honda's little golden boy.

Riiiggghhhhhttt, so how come he was fastest at Phillip Island then? http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2007/Feb/070201.htm

Yeah the latest BIKE , the one with the 40 page bit on the 1098, is talking about the return of the highside as corner speeds go up with them braking later and later



If I was designing his electronics I would rig a spare sparkplug to his seat so those watching on the side line could zap him every time he went to do something stupid like undertake Nicky.......

SOunds like the Honda has problems enuf without the draw of another spark-plug.....they'll be wanting the V5 990 back next year!! for safety...cause the 800's are dangerous with their hi-sides....True!!!!

He said in an interview afterwards that PI was one of his favourite tracks and they had a good set-up but that he knew he was going to have to work a hell of a lot harder at the next test, also you have to take into account who was missing from the PI testing.... a certain Yamaha team for a start...
