Anyone know where I can find some raw audio of the Ducati 800 screamer? I found a few poor quality clips on YouTube of them being run up in pitlane but nothing with them on track at full chat. I even looked on old Motogp.com races but couldn't find anything.
Ok, this is a post from the perfect world..... but
To me, it's a real shame there is no Suzuki and Kawasaki in MotoGP, and I really hope Aprilia and BWM come in as full factory teams.
As I understand, the last evolution Suzuki MotoGP bike was basically an 800cc WSBK engine in a prototype...
Burgess:
Casey rode the Ducati in an oversteer situation going into the corner, so the bike would start to slide, which made it start to stand up and he went. He was getting it turned with brake and throttle, but that's an awful risky way to do it." Basically Stoner would spin the rear, then...

Yoda revealed that in some corners, Kawasaki data-logging showed new signing...
Has anyone got any idea if footage from yesterdays test is up on YouTube yet?
It's up on the moto gp site already, and I hope there's a kind soul out there who'll upload it for those who are too tight to pay.
Gets a mention on the 'official' site today. Well Valencia would be the perfect track to try it against the 990s, it's more a 250 track than any other. Could the anticipated higher corner speed of the 800s give Loris an edge? On paper it looks like it could, some of you lucky sods might get to...
Reading Capirossi's and Rossi's comments in today's MCN about the new 2007 bikes has got me pretty excited. the fact that the ducati is only 0.3s off lap record race pace at the first major test with the world watching is pretty astounding. The yamaha wasn't quite as fast but still just as...
