It is so small, isn't it? Is it me or the tyres are a little bit narrower?

And it sounds more high-pitched than the current 990 cc.

eventhough I think going to the 800cc bikes is stupid decision I do like to see what each team can do with a fresh start...

will make up for another exciting season...plus, change is good.

i think they sound more high pitched than the 990's will be interesting to see how reliable and developed each bike is at the start of 2007 at Qatar
