Either way nice sound when that baby fired up [thumbsup] Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: gm2 on April 08, 2011, 01:50:44 PM Any word on what kind of lap times he was running?

What about the front? [bang]

Now, just get rid of that 21 liter fuel limitation and figure out some way to limit to get rid of electronic controls. Then we'll be cookin' with gas. [evil] Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: gm2 on April 08, 2011, 02:10:02 PM so yeah... 1000cc = still looking down.

Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: Triple J on April 08, 2011, 02:16:40 PM I think he missed the apex...by about an inch. [bow_down] It amazes me how precise pro rider's lines are.

Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: kopfjäger on April 08, 2011, 05:57:23 PM I wonder if they will do a separate video for Nicky's test tomorrow?
Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: Triple J on April 09, 2011, 09:52:09 AM ;) Pretty much all pro riders have precise lines. Rossi isn't the only one that can hit an apex. Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: fastwin on April 09, 2011, 12:09:52 PM No vid but there's this...

I like that they put the first podium finish at the beginning of the video, also the still shot at the very end is excellent.

I'm sure they could have, but it would have been tough. :P Title: Re: GP12 testing today Post by: Spidey on April 11, 2011, 11:32:32 AM Cool video, but it's hard to imagine they could have picked worse music for it.
