Cycle whore thread
You realize that it was the riders and teams right? because the other ones sucked. You are good marketing at work, buying what did well for racers. Incase you did not see it Ducati and not yamaha won the manufacturing cup for Ducati just throwing that out there. And rossi loss to both a honda and a ducati in previous years et cetera. Now stop riding yamahas dick and go out and make a decision for yourself based upon your own needs.
and how long did suzuki dominate with spies or maldin riding for them? Remember its the rider that makes the bike fast.....No one thought the yamaha would even be competitive this season but spies made the bike do things it should not.
it is the package.
we saw how in 07 that rossi didnt have the package and didnt win.
also, did Wayne Gardner ride it?
no worries tho, this week all the magazine editor will ride the factory machines like they do every year after the testing... they will tell you whats difficult and whats not.

who cares what whose MotoGP or WSBK machine felt like? I don't ride that shit on the road, nor will I ever be able to afford one. The only company that produces a bike even close to AMA or WSBK rules is Ducati with the 1098R and 1198R most other companies do not, I know a few of the other boutique manufactures also offer highly built machines but its not something they everyday man can afford, the ducatis for comparison are somewhere in the ball park of 40k

with enough money, you and i could build a replica of a WSBK, the only limiting factor is the top notch electronics that may not be sold to "john public"
Excuse me I just went and did some research, the 1098r and 1198r are the same bike, meaning the r version is the bored to 1198, so the 1198 and 1098s's are different.
a quote
This rumor might not surprise anyone, but Ducati is alleged to be bumping the 1098R out of the line-up for 2010, finally calling the Superbike homologation by its 1198cc capacity, and erasing any reference to the 1098 line.
To help distance the 1198R from the 1098R, and to help abate any pressure that might be felt by the BMW S1000RR and Aprilia RSV4, a power boost is expected as well in 2010. The 1098R is rated at 180hp, and the 1198R is expected to make 190hp at 10,000 RPM.
more random proof if you need it.
