Hmm not sure on the 1st one, I hope your right.

If Vr46 get Burgess and can get the Duc to turn better than the factory bikes they may do very well.

@ scozza I hope somebody ruffs the rat up

Burgess is the masia, biggest mistake of rossi's career parting company with him.

We don't want any Ducati's winning, like cheating

Saying that, just upgraded mine

Would love to see Yamaha and FQ win myself

Why cheating? They all have to conform to the rules. Ducati have produced some incredible bikes and still do.

Don't dispute that. The straight line speed is ridiculous compared to others, bit on an unfair advantage for me, saying that they lack in corners due to the geometry but like you say, they are approved. WSB and Batista he was making up to 12 bike lengths on the straights a couple of years ago, times that by 25 laps

Wins down to riders skills?

That's why I was never a big Fogerty fan, always though he had a distinct competitive advantage. Saying that, I was at Donnington MotoGP around 92 when he had a wild card ride, and ditched it, not at the races

Always said it ain't what it does its the way it does it, the 916 Road bike was 20/30 hp down on the then jap sports bikes was was still quicker on the road.

multistrada v4s

Don't do much for me adventure bikes. The V4 is amazing. The prices are ridiculous though, the death of the litre bikes, all pushing 20k

RS 660 and R7 twins for all for 10k plus!

Saying that, for the road, perfect power, just love litre bikes

Multi v4s, all day comfort, faster than a sports bike on our crap roads, litre sports bikes are track focused and exhausting to ride on road.

Agree on the comfort. As for faster, that's all down to the rider!

I ride a lot in the Peak District and North Yorkshire moors, proper twistys and a good mix of roads. I would put a good rider on an MT09 against anything up to 100mph. Adventure bikes are too big and need too much road space, sports bikes are uncomfortable but with right set up, which is everything, are fast.

Moto2, Sam Lowes, hoping he was going to win, 4th, don't know what was happening with the shoulder glance when Gardner passed him, like he was happy with third!

Great ride by Fernandez. Title looking like it's Gardner's

There's some completion for MotoGP rides in the next couple of years that's for sure
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
