Is this a way for them to drop out of MotoGp whilst still saving face ? Blame something other than themselves as we must admit they've not really challenged have they.

Ha, recession my arse, they can't build a competitive bike for MotoGP, I wonder if they'll pull out of WSB for the same reason.

it did seem like a lot of wasted money over far too many years , so not before time really

Can't see any adverse affect on superbike development as we've got superbikes to thanks for that anyhow, as nice as proototype is nice it is exactly that with I expect little or nothing filtering to the road bikes from there anyhow, well except for the paint schemes  [whistle]

wtf there the smallest jap factory, why be so negative its a real shame to see anyone drop out, there cant be that much wrong with the bike , no one points the finger at the riders, look at yamaha before rossi went there and look at the difference between stoner and malandri on the same bike....

Performance is an issue though, would Honda have pulled out of F1 if they were running at the front? Likewise Suzuki in WRC ?

im all for them putting more efforts into WSB and BSB now, as they are the bikes we get to buy and ride etc.. shame they will not be in GP but as said above... its getting a bit boring these days with all the technology etc.. it just seems to be tactics like F1 and not down to just the rider and bike..

heres to a good WSB and BSB year :occasion14:

word over here is they are not pulling out because of breech of contract.....it will cost them millions of euro's if they drop out ...they were going to pull out but when the governing body told them what the fine would be they thought twice...
