Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: gm2 on May 24, 2013, 10:07:22 AM yeah, it'll probably happen
but this article is from MCN.. and they just say 'planned'. i.e. this is the same report that's come out about 5 times. every time they have a (not very) secret test.

Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: zooom on May 28, 2013, 03:19:12 AM Sayonara CRT.....? ultimately, that is what DORNA wants...CRT was a bandaid for the lack of machinery out on the grid and to help aid in the exponential costs versus a factory machine. Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: Raux on May 28, 2013, 07:11:53 AM well if you think about it,
CRT is development for Aprilia, Kawa and BMW GP programs Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: OT on May 28, 2013, 09:03:30 PM Thought they wanted as many bikes on the starting grid as is humanly possible...
Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: Raux on May 28, 2013, 09:13:43 PM could you imagine!!!!!! [Dolph]
2xfactory 2x satellite for each of these! that's a field of 28 Ducati Honda Yamaha Kawa Aprilia BMW Suzuki Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: OT on May 28, 2013, 09:20:21 PM and increased testing/practice days/time, too. ;)
Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: ZLTFUL on May 29, 2013, 08:19:23 AM And don't forget the Honda leases.
Some teams may go that route as it would be cheaper than developing a factory's bike for them... Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: gm2 on May 29, 2013, 10:42:19 AM Thought they wanted as many bikes on the starting grid as is humanly possible... nah, i think after 20+ it's diminishing returns for the sport/"show" Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: gm2 on May 29, 2013, 10:42:34 AM And don't forget the Honda leases. Some teams may go that route as it would be cheaper than developing a factory's bike for them... and the yamaha engine leases Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: duccarlos on May 29, 2013, 11:48:37 AM and the yamaha engine leases Engines are really nothing without the frame and software. Title: Re: Suzuki returns to MotoGP 2014 Post by: ZLTFUL on May 29, 2013, 12:04:05 PM Engines are really nothing without the frame and software. This! Honda is offering the whole package, albeit slightly downgraded from the "factory" satellite bikes. The spec ECU thing tends to start to pull in the gap a bit but we are still talking about parts versus whole packages. |
