Valencia Tests 8-9 November 2011

The Kawasaki engined BQR bike and the Suter BMW should also be at the test. I don't think the Suzuki 1000 will be seen yet but they supposedly have two 1000cc projects going, one a V4 and the other an I4 according to gpweek.

As has been said they need to offer their satellite teams more as well; going on this year you would think they would have trouble giving the bikes away let alone getting anyone to lease them. Aspar are already gone.

That's a first for me. So there's rumors that Suzuki are developing an inline and V four for MotoGP? Seems strange that they would be doing that for two reasons.



1. Since a V Four seems to be ideally suited for racing

2. Costs since they're not even sure that they will race in 2012

Will the test be shown on motogp.com?

This will be very interresting.

Both CRT and others.

I saw a picture of the Ducati Panigale.Still L twin but tilted backwards.Maybe the idea is tried in the Ducati GP 0?



I really hope Bridgestone hasn't completely changed the character of their tires and made them too soft.

If so,it would be bad news for Stoner I think.

Bad news for Stoner, good news for Rossi. Tinfoil Hat is now put on

Thank you very much

must be wet? some riders just done a few laps
