Title: 1199 in BSB
Post by: Raux on January 24, 2012, 01:19:56 AM
Seems Moto Rapido is going to do what Ducati won't, put an 1199 in Superbike

One of my dealer's techs and his brother have been riding 1*98R in the Norwegian and Nordic SBK.

They are both on Panigales this year, so I'm guessing there will be a few of them in National series here and there [Dolph]

Previous years they were supported by Ducati, but I don't know how they do it this year.

I find it rather entertaining when privateers are beating the factory teams... :-)

School me on BSB please. Did Ducati have any bikes on the grid? If they were, how competitive? I just know that Hopper almost won the championship.

Looks like Ducati has been pretty successful in BSB. Their last championship was with Shakey Byrne in '08.

I like BSB except for the fact that the paddock girls carry umbrellas to shield for rain, not sun... lol
