Pics are here

yousendit only allows for 7 days of upload time so grab 'em now.

there's only a handful of pix in the zip file... 4 or 5 of the M1 and 1 of the GP7. there are more pix, but i'm still waiting on them. this is what i could get so far via email.

i'll post the rest when i get them.

(don't get too excited, the pix aren't that great)


Thanks for that nice to see...

Don't worry I don't think there is anything such as Stoners bike or Rossi's bike. ( Don't forget these things get dissassemble each race and shipped off in parts to the next venue ) But its the thought that counts anyway

Gee thats a poor pass-off for Stoner bike though!! Thats old as the hills look at the back end of it ..... Stoners bike looked pretty decent this year ... beat looking Duc. I've ever seen .... that thing looks like a tadpole!

Perhaps, to the untrained eye.

Below is the GP? at the show

[attachmentid=2592]

Focus your attention toward these areas and you will see the major differences: (Enlarge the photos for comparison)

The brake assembly,
The rear set assembly,
The features of the tank,
The exhaust ends,
The seat features,
The size of the vent on fairing,
The seam of the fairings,
etc.

This is the actual GP7 (Left side)

This is the actual GP7 (Right side)

When I saw Stoners bike I could have sworn it was a GP7.


Now can you see the difference?

Jumkie, Im not trying to argue with you, but I'd like to point out that a bike could go through all of these changes from the start to the end of one season.

What would be soo cool, is to go over the whole bike with Loris and have him tell the history of each change... I guess Suzuki will get a chance

That isn't "a GP7" as we saw in any race in 07 ........ I would not be surprised if someone said there was not part on that bike that Stoner rode on.

It is possible that may be the case with " the M1 also" .

wouldn't the ducati look better with the bodywork away from the wheel a little more... circular.

'xx CURVE xx'...with all due respect ur being childish!!! When you have ur avatar with Mr. Stoners crash where ever it may be!!! Mr. Stoner is a great rider who has shown in the last decade at least that Mr. Valentino Rossi can be beaten on his own level be it close racing or not!!! What did you say when on this forum (or were you on this forum???) when Rossi was winning by the margining or greater than Mr. Stoner did in 2007??? I wonder but you must have said that Mr. Rossi was the greatest!!! Didn’t YOU!!! Well there is a change of the guard and Mr. Stoner is the KING!!! So [;ease except it for what it is and let’s see how Mr. Stoner handles it in 2008 and if he does and wins the 2008 WC’p then will you be converted??? I don’t think so as you a one eyed Rossi supporter and you will have plenty of excuses just like you and all the other supporters have had in 2007 to justify your cause!!! ...cheers haver (btw: that is mate in Hebrew) and thanks for your stoughts, but please think before you post anything!!!

The GP7 is a magnificent looking machine and there isn’t anything better that looks or performs like it in the paddock!@!!


Modedit: Its troll season every season with the new CSCVAW Account.

i know this thread is pretty much done and dusted, but just found this pic my dad took at the nec this year, i believe this is a gp6 'dressed' as a gp7, the tail gives it away.

Sort of on topic I guess... here's a couple of pics I got at the Brisbane International Motorcycle show a number of months back.

Looks very nice up close!
