Honda was designing the 800 when yamaha was winning everything... i really think they tried to make the bike smaller to compete with the yamaha in the corners and not about screwing Nicky.

Don't you know Honda have a grand plan to ruin Nicky and all Americans?

No, they MADE the 800 AND the 800 RULE change just FOR their little jocky pilot turds they're breeding and bringing up through the classes....Phleg would understand this if he'd get his head out of his ......

Yeah, Honda spent extra millions, just so ONE rider would be better off. How wrong have I been?

How dare they. Any decent factory would rally for rules and bikes that made their best riders obsolete in favour of slower guys from a series they don't even support.

Yes. They did. The same way they spent extra millions when they built their first 4-stroke motogp bike. They said explicitly they built the bike for Dani and that the machine they were intending to build was not produced. As a result everyone (including Dani) has suffered greatly.
I don't agree that Honda changed the class to 800s though. Honda wanted 800s AFTER IT WAS DECIDED DISPLACEMENT WOULD BE REDUCED. Dorna weren't going to tell the manufacturer supplying half the grid that they were intending to make 850s. They made it 800 so Honda could chuck a cylinder and tweak bore and stroke a few nanometers.

Oh yeah, Honda don't support .... all in 125/250. You'd know if you followed the sport.

Oh the irony. It's so typical for you to insult people when you have no substance at all. I ask for a simple answer, and you can't even provide with me with, when the truth is, there ARE no factory Honda riders in the support classes, so the 800 switch would be against their best interests.

They don't need to support the lower classes to prep them for the midget bikes they're designing...do they?

You know i'm not sure i agree. Takahashi is definitely Factory and although that seams almost negligable over two classes, i think its more interest then they show in superbike racing as the HRC have now withdrawn the only factory superbike team they had from the uk.
