RACE STUFF THREAD

I think most folks could see this coming considering their factory team being pulled from WSBK. But still, there will be some support to the satellite teams. Wonder if DNA just decided Pegram wasn't worth it or the other way around. Also wonder if they will continue to help Fong and Rapp in Daytona Sportbike... that is if they helped them at all.

That's funny, I just traded in the Honda for a used SL500.  I'm glad I'm on top of the trend.

Thanks, I'm still trying to figure out what all the buttons do.  The damn thing has vents that you can open and close for the glove box 

Really can't wait to find a wide open parking lot and turn off all the safety buttons.

Was visiting friends at Action Suzuki/Kawasaki today and I got to roll out the first 2011 ZX-10R onto the showroom floor and sit on it. Yeah, this is a Duc board blah blah blah but it's a really neat scooter and feels really smallish. Almost 600 like. There was a 2011 Suzook GSXR1000 near by (totally unchanged from the 2009 sitting next to it other than paint and graphics) and it looked and felt "bigger" than the ZX. The changes to the 2011 Suzook 600/750 did not trickle up the the 1000. Really looking forward to see if the new ZX will make any waves in the AMA and WSBK series. All the write ups have been very interesting and very positive. If nothing else the front end looks 100 times better than the previous model on the floor... night and day difference! This one even had the ABS brake system on it and it was all black with no BS graphics which helped it look even smaller. Neat stuff. [moto]

They ripped off Aprilia on that front. 

[fastwin]

Yep it does indeed look 'priller. Not a bad look though, especially compared to the bad alien look of 2010!

[muskrat]

I still love the Aprilia and she has character.  one day......one day.
