Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

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.

you been under a rock Brad?

Hopper is riding a CBR in WSBK

and Melandri riding for free on the Kwak but its not a factory team

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.

did you get the red key sorted??

Well thats an epic that will hopefully finish before Xmas, but I now have a Red key. It cost me another $500 and i'm chasing that back through the Department of Fair Trading against Image motorcycles at Gosford NSW ( had to sqeeze that in).

bugger...

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"!

Come to think of it, neither was running around at the back of the pack as some second rate, half thought about Factory team

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

Let's hope for a good year.

Melandri's sixt position is fantastic,

Let's hope he can build on it

awesome race. good to see melandri back in the points and not last for a change. hopefully its a good start for the rest of the year
