im all for jumping at opportunities, but miller going to motogp reminds me way too much of ant wests wasted career.
westy was (is) a really talented rider, but jumped to teams that were never going to be winners time and time again, so his full abililty has never really been shown. remember yamaha germany supersport? he could have had that title, but went to fuckng kawasaki gp.
i can see miller doing the same. wait your time out in moto 3 and moto 2 kid, bag some titles and then take a vacant factory seat in a few years. a string of wc's is going to look far better than a string of 5-10's to prospective employers. thats what i reckon anyway.
and one more thought, bradls seat wont be a free ride i would imagine, he more than likely wont have to pay a cent to ride in moto 3/2.

Miller has stated that he wants to win a moto2 title. To me that means he intends on doing a season in moto2.
What would you do if you'd been offered a MotoGP seat on a satellite RC213V?
Wouldn't it be stupid to knock back that offer?
It may not come around again.

yeah, i know what you mean, but to be motogp wc, you cant be riding a satellite bike. and if history has shown us anything, its that satellite riders remain satellite riders. whatever happens, it'll be a tough decision for him.
The rumour was for Bradl's bike wasn't it?
Same team Casey Stoner started in MotoGP with. That satellite ride was the start of a good path.

Cecchinello wants to get funding for a second bike and put Miller on a production bike and keep Bradl, but supposedly Honda wants Miller on the factory option.

I'd be very very surprised to see Miller jump straight to MotoGP....I would think Honda would push keep in Moto2 for a year, move him to GP in 2016 when rules and tires are all new....which means he starts with LCR or Gresini in 2016, and 2017 he is with MM....

Vinales to Suzuki.....
:rofl:
Seriously though....where did Speedweek come up with that one?
And why would Maverick ruin his career so early and quickly?

Moto2 riders are virtually riding for food and lodging and what little endorsement money they can scrounge up. The lure of a paycheck is strong. Lets say Suzuki pays Vinales 1 million a year for 3 years. Even if he bombs, he can live comfortably the rest of his life, whereas if he goes the sattelite route, he makes half that maybe and still with no guarantees of success. You can impress the paddock on a ...... bike. They know what your bike is capable of, if you exceed that, you have not hurt yourself. Bradl. Smith, and Bautista have hurt themselves by not getting the potential out of their machines. They should be 5-6-7th in the championship instead of 9-10-11

Vinales has to be one better paid riders in Moto2....though if as you say he is riding for peanuts at the moment then he might have taken the deal and he rides for Sushi instead ....
Either way, it makes Maverick a non-contender for the next 3 years....and will be riding for 9-10-11 place.....making up the numbers for money instead of riding for the championship....
I for one hope that rumour is not true....Considering that at least one Satellite Honda is likely to be coming free in 2015, Smith's seat could surely be an option in 2015, Edwards seat is available on an open Yamaha, and the Proddy Hondas (or possibly replaced with 2014 RC213Vs in open configuration) are likely to be better than the Suzuki in 2015 and 2016....
Lets wait and see....

Povol, did you know that M27 is ignoring me, and I believe you as well....at least that is what he said he was doing......personally, i think he's a sock puppet of one of those that ran off the other 'forum'....
And if i am wrong then yes, i expect to be messed...as per the norm of this most excellent forum....
When i said that?
I am just, when i do nothing some times, come here and tease some stupid guys.
And i am gonna answer something.
