that thing is butt-ugly...looks like designer watched too many Pokemon cartoons when he was younger
so far they haven't been flying of the showroom floors......I don't see how they can release a bike with no TC when their competitors have it. Hopefully TC will be an option otherwise they dropped the ball.
In all likelyhood he did.

Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki have traction control on their litre bikes? Wow, that's news to me. I'll have to run out and pick one up right away.
Aprilia, BMW, Kawasaki, and Ducati all have traction control.
Yamaha and Suzuki haven't had a new design since 2009.
If Honda doesn't have TC in the new Fireblade then it's quite obvious that they're dedicating their resources to the claimed new V4 bike and that will be their new flagship probably for 2013.

My bad.
yup- Traction Control is the only thing missing from this bike....assuming last model's ABS will be available on this one. It is the best ABS on the market, but why Honda had to employ 20 lbs of junk to get the ABS on there is beyond me. It is however, the mosttransparent and effective ABS system I have seen yet.
My favourite of the newest litrebikes, mostly becasue it has stomping midrange that decimates the field. Peak hp numbers don't mean squat to me on a streetbike, but midrange accessible grunt is something I do truly like. And the fact that it feels the tiniest of all the litrebikes from the saddle makes me like it even more.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with his ability to ride the thing better than anyone else.
did u watch the races? a few times there's a close shot of his rear tire, and you see casey go WOT and the rear starts to come out and boom it doesn't and he rides away.

You can see him go WOT on a close up of his rear tire, that's pretty amazing. I guess everyone else is struggling because they don't have it? That hardly seems fair.

I guess that's why they aren't any high sides in GP any more... oh wait...
lol you realize the others have traction control too right? not to mention they've had fine throttle control like that long before TC was even a factor
this motogp season hondas are dominating the podiums. so yeah, others have TC but hondas have it better. as far as i know, casey hasn't highsided at all this season (non of the other hondas as well), but when he was on the duc he was highsiding left and right
i can see it because eurosport/bbc channel shows it. and the commentators are talking about how honda is throwing money at their bikes to win the last 800cc title. use your brain for once.

On the Duc he kept losing the front. Honda is winning because of traction control? The experts seem to think it's a horsepower advantage this year.
You seem to be pretty opinionated for someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
in my previous post i said hondas are winning "partly" due to a better TC system. yup hp is also another factor, as well as the tranny. so u should learn how to read and know what YOU are talking about. cuz you dont.
yeah on the duc he kept losing the front but highsides were also another factor. to not highside he had to go easy on the throttle but now on the honda he just goes WOT and trusts the TC completely.

I can read. I also know how to spell and use capital letters appropriately.
ok u can read but u gotta learn to read better before attempting to call someone out. i type everything in lower case because it saves me 0.970 seconds per post. u can see how it can add up to a lot of time i can use towards other things, like riding. something u should consider.
