Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Well during last nights SuperBikes they said that it was confirmed
that Frankies PSE team will be running Kawasaki's and are parting with Ducati.
Now I cant wait till next years SBK at PI in march

Kawasaki are Back !!!!!



mario
ps-Looks like yamaha's back also and rumours of Haga on a R1 are going around.

Think its a smart move Kwika saki needs good ole timers to help sort the things out .... go Frankie ...
Cheers
Brett

Yah.!!!
Its great to see someone older than me out there and having a go..

Perhaps theres hope for me after all... or not...

By the way I think its the PSG not GSE. GSE pulled out last year..

Top stuff!!! so can I bin my #7 Frankie shirt Mario?? hahaha

I bet Mario's gunna have Frankie Sign every bit of Green apparel he own's...

And as for running around Cowes chasing Frankie, and screaming out his name.. OMG is 2005 gunna big an even bigger year at Cowes.. hahaha


Mario you'd have a 3rd child being born soon yeah??

Imagine what mario would name his first son... *laughs*

Cool, so I don't have to sell my Chili replica helmet! Yay!

i got a good feeling the 10R's are gonna do really well.

Even if they don't atleast it'll have a team that should know what needs doing... touch wood... lets just hope kawasaki are more supportive though... apparently the kawa team only just got a new swing arm, they were saying that kawasaki haven't been very forth coming with their support..

I like Frankie he's a hard charger but getting a bit long in the tooth. I'd love to see Nori Haga or Troy Bayliss(soon to be out of work) with him. I hope Kwaka treats them better than Sanchini's team, Gazza and Pittie.
What happened to the Supersport effort? It seems to have died in the arse of late despite having a great bike (on paper)

The supersport effort should ,I hope, be back next year as well.
Berrtochi run Sanchini and Clementi at the moment and ,I dont know how to spell his name,Cruchiani ? on the zx6rr and he's a dud
Riba is racing the zx6rr in the BSB rounds maybe he'll be back to the world supersports


mario

had to be the bearer of bad news but we had Ken Wootton on the radio show yesterday. he was @ brands for the WSB races on the weekend. I quized him about Chili riding the zx10 next year and he said although the PSG-1 corse team HAD signed a contract with kawasaki europe Chili had by no means signed to ride for the team. and was in fact in talks with another manufacturer.

lets all hope that he does. nanelli was the other rider i heard was being touted as a possibility.

also the bertocci team have been told to get some better riders not just ones who bring sponsorship money in to the team, therefore clementi and sanchini may be on the way out.

in other good news for aussies kev curtain may very well be riding an r1 in the supers next year for the yamaha germany team he rides for now. also if muggas wins the WSS title he will join vermulen in the ten kate WSBK team (thats if vermulen doesnt get drafter into the repsol team to replce the ageing alex barros)

Sounds like it was a good show Phil, pity I missed it - this working for a living really sucks sometimes.

fingers crossed for Chilli on the ZX10R next year !

Matt

Don't forget Chili isn't a young fella, and he's chasing that illusive championship.. He's not going to want to be on a developmental bike.. He would want to get on something that he knows is capable of riding up the front.. As it stands a top 5 seems to be out of reach.. Obviously results are dictated by current riders, but i doubt you can say, gimme a day or 2's test riding at track x, and then I'll give you my decision...

yeh matt, i was an interesting one, thats the second week in a row we have had the pleasure of talking to ken from the other side of the world. he has managed to fit in 4 world championship events on his 4 week holiday, it would take me 4 years to do that.

hopefully you'll be able to tune in next week.

Thanks Phil

mario

Phil,

Give me a call some time. I'm on the other side of the world...

As for Chili... to be perfectly honest, I could care less if he comes to Kawasaki. He isn't going to win a championship, regardless of what bike he's on.

Kawasaki or their teams just need to spend some money on a decent rider and stop stuffing around.
