I reckon this bike will win the championship. Neck on the block there.
Would love Alex to do it.

Any reasoning to go with that. I would think Honda would be tickled to death if Nick brought home the title on maybe the worst bike on the grid.

That's interesting, it's a bit hard to believe, given their last Wsbk champ was Spies; but I also wouldn't doubt it given the oddities of motorcycle roadracing politics. I remember reading a suggestion that Honda's last 800 title was something of a gentleman's agreement between Yamaha and Honda.
The R1 will be a formidable weapon. But the Kawasaki is just too much to overcome at this stage. Since KHI have decided GP is not for them it's like they've placed all their eggs in Wsbk. Given their success in the last 5 years, it's paying off.
