    suzuki have more or less pulled out, now yamaha and honda dont take it to seriously

    WSB is too geared towards ducati/aprillia IMO. i can understand why japan have become tired of it

    Makes sense, must cost em a fortune to run the variety of official teams across the globe, picking up on Remal's point someone will pick it up and run it as a 'privateer' team setup...

    i agree it shouldnt be factory teams anyway

    theyre meant to be bikes you or i could buy and race. the factory bikes are loads different to the privateer bikes which isnt right

    Yamaha .State thats its all down to the recent bike sales 1st half of this year .Well hello the R1 has the worse back end of any of the top superbikes and they jacked the price up as well .Sort the exhaust out give it a make over ,reduce the price and bingo you have a top spec and quality bike ,and the sales world wide will follow.
