Ilmor motogp engine?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Ooost @ Jun 6 2006, 05:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Agreed, they had Carl Fogarty running the team. That says it all right there. How much flak will I get for that comment?

None from me anyway.

Foggy

No objections here bud


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (teomolca @ Jun 6 2006, 11:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>No disrespect to Petronas but I think Ilmor and Sutil know much more about racing bikes than Petronas did.

But this is 4 stroke GP racing. It`s basically all about the money. Where will they get the money from if the new Ilmor is just starting out? Im sure they`ve got the expertise, but where`s the dough gonna come from?

By the way I agree that Petronas were clueless.... a 900cc triple... how long has it been since a triple won anything? Was it really that hard to tell that they`d need a 1000 in the near future anyway? And Fogarty. Well you had a say in how it looked didn`t you Carl? Decided the R1 looked ...., tried to make somthing exotic looking like a Ducati and ended up with somthing uglier and a hell of a lot slower than both of them

I personally love the look of the FP1. The exhaust was/is by far the coolest in WSB history, the intake wasn't awful looking and I think it may have had one of the most unique paint jobs in racing history. Steve Martin's leathers and helmet combo look stunning with that Petronas aqua-marine.

I guess it`s a matter of opinion. I think the FP1 looked crap, and the paint job was worse

Haha, to each his own, eh richo?

True, If everyone was the same as the majority we`d all be on 50cc Honda scooters

I happen to like thos Metropolitans. Some of the ones here in the states come with an aqua blue-ish paint scheme with Hawaiian flowers all over it. Very cool.

You cant go 50 meters in Japan without seeing a honda cub or Yamaha.... whatever it`s called. I`m so sick of scooters, and I havent ridden a real bike in 2 and a half months

Terribly sorry bud. If I can get my homework done and shake this hangover I hope to go for a short ride tonight.

You`ll regret that when I bring it back with a lamp post neatly placed in the middle of it "....... Honda Didn`t even have autopilot"
