KAWASAKI OUT OF MOTOGP !!!!!

Post by SoundGuy »

Ladies and Gents,

This is a sad day for all kwaka fans.

I just read on an Italian site that Kawasaki has officially redrawn from MotoGp for 2008 and now Hopper and Melandri are left without a ride.

:cry:

Yeah, this story has spread around the internet like wildfire. It's out of control. One minute it's a Bayliss vs Rossi showdown in the desert, next it's Kawasaki out of MotoGP.

If it's true, I guess they just wasted a shitload of coin testing at PI!

fuck me dead!!!

if i read right about the possibly honda withdrawl from motogp, if the number falls below 18 then the world championship simply becomes a cup...

not a good look for the sport and not a good showing against WSBK, which has a way larger grid...

honda are in.. the talk about them withdrawing was purely panic regarding their F1 pull-out... honda will not pull out of motogp for 2009...
