I would be extremely surprised is he ever leaves Honda. He would have to be on the downslope of his career and be offered a absolute stupid amount of money to leave big red imo.
Claiming Rules never work. Back in the AMA days a privateer used claiming rules to buy Matt Mladin's forks for something like $5K when they were really worth $40K+ and the yosh team gouged the stanchions and stripped every bolt/nut/thread in them before handing them over.
No sensible team...
His Ducati years were well documented for the teams blatant disregard of his input. I guess Stoner, Hayden, and Crutchlow were no good at setup as well? That bike didn't start getting better until Gigi Dall'igna showed up. Thankfully now they have Lorenzo's superior setup ability which has seen...
lol no
I was happy enough that I didn't have to pay for anything originally when I borrowed it to launch myself into low earth orbit trying to outrun a much better dirt rider than myself
All teams are now limited to a maximum RPM limit. However, because Kawasaki has been dominant they have a lower max RPM than the other 4cyl bikes. The concession points system also affects all teams but in essence will only effect the teams doing well, and force them to lower the performance of...
Not a regular riding spot afaik. Just a yearly event. It goes from the grass track into the woods and back out. It's a fairly short lap.

As Owen mentioned I've only ever seen them at TMP a few times a year. I was at one and they still let other bikes on track because there wasn't enough vintage guys.
I wouldn't bother with something of that vintage. They are slow, heavy, and dont handle as good as something in the 2000+ range.
Hardly anyone insures their track bikes so I wouldn't really consider it a factor in your purchase. It is available if you want it, but very few companies will do it...
Take a closer look at the frame. Definitely not an SV frame, or if it was, its been very modified. Wheel looks like Hyosung to me. Pipe looks like a GSX-R stock pipe.
What a mess.
Ran $17 chinese screens on my race bikes for years. Break just as good in a crash as a puig for way less money.
Seriously, it's a piece of plastic. There is no difference.
He has an on-road policy but because his bike is a blue plated E model they quoted him essentially the same price for on-road as they would off-road only because, I'm assuming, the bike is not in their system for on-road use.
