I take it the 9 for Suzuki is down to it being a one bike team ?
I'm with Schwantz and Beattie on that one.........what a pack of monkeys. Kawasaki were more pragmatic and thorough in their limited approach.

What a pack of twits.
Give their spot to Krapasaski............. At least they were trying.
Rant finished. Apologies...........but after being a fan of them all my GP watching life, their lack of aplication, and wasted resources is really giving me the ......
