Dont use Google. Think for yourself, in the four-stroke era which ride would you take. I say since they switched to the cross-plane crank I would take the Yamaha as the career choice bike to have. And when Honda meddles with the rules ala change to 800cc Yamaha generally kicked there arse. Switch to 1000cc again Yamaha adapt faster. Future change to control ecu I think Yamaha will adapt faster. From there its easy to say Lorenzo is in the better position, he is on a factory Yamaha.

Or just maybe Yamaha had better riders since the x-plane crank era. Stoner was the obvious exception before Marques, but got injured for one of the 2 years he rode for Honda. Adapting faster hasn't happened this year so far for Yamaha, or is that for their "no1 rider"? Rossi also seems to have adapted to the new '14 tyres when Bridgestone bring them

I think your comment about Lorenzo being in the best place is some serious reaching at this point in the season, and am totally unconvinced by your arguments. He may win the WC if something strikes Marques down, but at the moment he is behind Marques, as well as Pedrosa and Rossi. As for the control ECU (whenever that happens), meh..

I think for myself at all times, but your statement that Yamaha had won more WCs then Honda was clearly bollocks, no matter which way you paint it - "I don't need to google. I know Yamaha have more WCs" is not the same as "don't use google, think for yourself - Yamaha should have more WCs given blah...".

As Hayden fans know, the numbers don't l1e - stop trying to change the parameters and stick to your guns, unless of course, you find you have turned them on your foot!

I'm not debating whether Lorenzo is going to win the w/c this year. Obviously its a long shot. I am saying if he fails its not the bike to blame. In fact I was responding to the notion Honda is all powerfull all dominant unbeatable, which always tends to be bandied around every time they win a few races.

History, at least four stroke history does not support the notion Honda is unbeatable, in fact four stroke history (lets not go back to MV Augusta days eh) supports the notion Yamaha get it right more often than not. They have won more championships in the four stroke era. Therefore Honda are not unbeatable, Lorenzo can maintain hope for the future as can any other Yamaha rider. End of.

Edit btw the question was simple enough "think for yourself, which bike would YOU choose". You didnt actually answer it. Mick wants a Ducati. I'll take a Yamaha.
