DANG!!! Those suzukis are fast....just imagine when they get it devloped like the zx10's and r1's have had for a year now.... 1 Vincent Haskovec M4 Emgo Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 2 Aaron Yates Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 3 Jason Pridmore Jordan Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 4 Jamie Hacking Yamaha Yamaha YZF-R1 5 Jason DiSalvo Yamaha Yamaha YZF-R1 6 Geoff May M4 Emgo Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 7 Tommy Hayden Kawasaki Kawasaki ZX-10 8 Steve Rapp Jordan Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000

Not to sure how developed the 10 is :dontknow: or how much it will get. How much did the other teams recieve factory support last year?

The engine on the Gix is an evolution from the K4 it has a lot development in there!

kawi screwed up last year buy not giving bostrom the zx10r....surprised to see yates in second

Not to sure how developed the 10 is :dontknow: or how much it will get. How much did the other teams recieve factory support last year? About as much as kawaski gave to it's riders...ALOT. Are we forgetting that T hayden had a chance to win the superstock tittle also???

That's very true T did have a great chance last year, but judging from Daytona the 10 seems to be down on power, considering that Daytona is a power race. Hopefully we can make up some ground on the other tracks where T has a better chance. If only the factory would back them more. With all this drama we at least better do better in Moto GP!!!

Yep T.H came home strong towards the end of the season and im sure there will be some tracks that the 10 will perform well at.:beer:

Better in GP you wish, its going to be a little better but I doubt you will see a podiu, finish this year. AS everyone else said, Kawi doesnt seem to be putting much into its race programs as of late. I think daytona is a fluke of a race, like I said last year honda took a 1-2-3 finish and, but there bike didnt come out on top at the end of the season.

I thought Honda did 1-2-3 in Formula Extreme race last year at Daytona..but i'm old with a bad memory. Mladin won Daytona superbike and Yamaha won superstock?

No doubt the G1k is a solid package and in this case teamed up with some very talented riders, Yikes, Pridmore, Haskovec to name a few but for those that watched the SS race you'll notice the gap between the front 3 Zuks to the R1's then back to TH & RL never changed much throughout the entire race. Tommy & Rogg ran basically in the same area they qualified in so its not as though the zuks or R1's left them behind by 1/2 lap. Yikes will not run the entire series so ya can give him the heave ho in terms of the title. BD

Yikes = Yates??

indeed! kind of a nickname due to his antics. :eyecrazy: moved to racing section. BD

BD strikes again

indeed! kind of a nickname due to his antics. :eyecrazy: moved to racing section. BD Man dont be disin Yates, he works as hard or harder than any rider out there.LOL Hes just misunderstud :dontknow: :eyecrazy:

Man dont be disin Yates, he works as hard or harder than any rider out there.LOL Hes just misunderstud :dontknow: :eyecrazy: Abit like Mladin :spit:

Hes just misunderstud :dontknow: :eyecrazy: Drop kicking a fellow rider on national TV will do that. :spit:

kawi screwed up last year buy not giving bostrom the zx10r....surprised to see yates in secondThey did offer him a ride, but EBoz wanted a Superbike. Kawi is not investing in Superbike. Eboz needs to get the hell off that Duc before his career ends up in the toilet. Hodge was impressive I must say. I thought he would have his ass handed to him. I hope he beats that cherry picking sandbagger Mat Mladin. Eboz should be able to beat Mladin with the right bike. He would have won the AMA title in 01 on the ZX7RR, if it wasn't for a few mechanicals. Nicky was on the RC51, and Mladin got smoked on the Gix 750 that year. From 02 to now EBoz is on less competitive machines. The 999R does not fit his riding style. Hodge proved that. Eboz needs a inline 4 1000cc. I just hope he gets a Kawi ride instead of one of the other brands. Josh Hayes is the only big bike hope for the ZX10R. Tommy does not ride the bigger engine bike like the 600.
