Kawasaki back in MotoGP

Post by smithy5 »

Just to let those of you who didn't know, but Kawasaki is back in MotoGP. They will only be running a one bike team with Marco Melandri but at least they are going to be there. Don't know what is happening to John Hopkins but at this stage he is without a ride for 2009.

No not under a rock! That's why I started with "for those who don't know". I am just sick of hearing people telling me Kwaka is finished in MotoGP when they ain't. :kuda:

No, they are pretty much finished. Running around at the back of the pack as some second rate, half thought about privateer team isn't exactly "competing"!

6th place today in Japan behind the 2 Fiat Yamaha's, 2 Repsol Honda'a and Stoner is not the back of the pack. :D

Let's hope for a good year. :kuda:

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
