What, did they need a bigger tug boat?

Great to see Kwak so high in those lists. Can't see how they can vote on this decade, it's got more years to run yet.

And What about Wayne Gardener?

Ah, there can be only one from each decade and Eddie did take 4 titles in a tough era and rode Yamaha and Honda...and later Cagiva.
Wayne probably put them off by his performances in the V8's

great work from kwaka, no surprises about no yamahahas or hondas do they even build a bike worth riding, maybe they should stick to keyboards and grasscutters

I'll see your Large Marooned Vessels, and raise you a "See You On The Track girlfriend" !!!

bah humbuh hyper-tourers blah blah grrrrrr

OH and *no* surprises in those lists, the poms have always had a stiffy for the BIg Zed (and who can blame them ) - and the GpZ900 was at the very cutting edge of all sportsbike design from 1984 onwards.
