WSB is alive again!
« on: February 26, 2006, 05:11:18 pm »
What a race in Qatar. Its good to see the Suzuki-fest is over, whatever Yamaha did is obviously working. Too bad about the crash in the last lap but "that's racing"....what an exciting WSB debut. WOW

Ducati and Honda appear much stronger as well, it is really good to see the grid tighten up. Seeing any manufacturer dominate like the Suzuki's last year makes for extremely boring racing. I can hardly wait to see what Yamaha and Honda has in store for the AMA series.  8)

Yeah, all the manufacturers have tightened up.

But it does still beg the same question as the last few years... where is Kawasaki?!

These new twins are rocking, by the way.  Over 150whp for a stock 999R? 

Well... I suppose that depends on your definition of stock.

A little down on power, but faster than anyone in the corners and they sound great. 8) It's good to see Troy back in WSBK. :)
