Moto Guzzi for sure, Norton would be good to see rise from the practically dead. I've always been a fan of Triumphs and there is a lot of history there so I would like to seem them in the thick of it. Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

My first ever memory is watching two black Nortons on the TV, I think kicking butt!
I'd like to see MV, Benellis & Foggy race in motoGP............I love that Foggy FP1.very sexy!
Ron.........could you see BMW with a race bike?

They have already started developing it. Think its going to be a superbike tho...
Would love to see those gorgeous FP1's in motoGP but cant see it happening really.
They would need a stonkin motor would'nt they? Shame they never lived up to expectations in WSB.

I have heard some rumblings about BMW developing a bike and as Ron said it may be a superbike. Another rumor about is Foggy is going to join MotoGP, I would assume not with machinery of his own but I have heard he is going to buy the D'Antin squad. Surely Ducati could supply their once golden child with brand new machinery for the right price each season.

Well, I stand correct on the BMW thing.........that was news to me Ron!
Also heard on the 'vine that foggy was looking at buying a team...........that would be cool! But it would be fantastic if they could get the FP1 competitive!
Incidently, I used to see Foggy quite often around here, as he lives where I was born.........cant miss him really, his number plate reads FOGGY

Moto Czysz or something like that. I am excited to see what these guys can do but they are really in it at the wrong time, they may as well scrap their entire project. If they're lucky they will have a prototype to start developing next year and it better achieve some promising results if it is going to get any sponsorship because they're going to need all the money they can get. They're going to have to build and develop an all new bike to meet the 800cc rules for 2007.

Ben you mentioned Benelli, I have never seen a Benelli on the street but do you guys remember the Benelli Tornado 900 Triple Superbike? Peter Goddard rode it in 2001 I believe, I saw it at the Laguna Seca round that year and I have never heard a sweeter sounding bike in my life. It didn't scream like an in-line four cyclinder and it didn't groan like a v-twin, it had a sweet hum somewhere in between. If anybody heard they will know what I mean.
