Moto GP is now over

Post by Green Machine »

just received the news..




PRESS RELEASE


Tokyo, January 9, 2009 -- Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has decided to suspend its factory MotoGP racing activities from 2009 season.

Amid quickly changing business environment, Kawasaki has been promptly taking countermeasures to cope with the situation. As the world economy is not likely to recover in a short period due to the major impact of the financial crisis, Kawasaki decided to suspend its MotoGP racing activities from 2009 season onward and reallocate management resources more efficiently.

Kawasaki will continue racing activities using mass produced motorcycles as well as supporting general race oriented customers.

Kawasaki would like to thank all the fans and all those who have forwarded us great help.
Bad luck Westy... Hope to see you back around soon mate ....

It is sad - at least I think so.
But perhaps we should keep it down to one thread.....

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

The latest AMCN claims all four Japanese manufacturers will be present at the Expo for Supers.
