With the Americas GP this weekend, how do the different teams get their bikes from Europe to the US?

Used to hate ADV guys, now I am one. I traded my s1000r for a Multistarada and damn, if I would have known touring bikes are putting out this kind of power I would’ve went there years ago. What can a sport bike do that a touring bike cannot?? I saw there’s a thread up right now of a guy asking...

There is a great effort to create runoff areas, etc. All this is to make sure riders at high speed do not hit some standing object. Some riders do not understand slowly cruising motorcycle is just such an object and it does not belong to the racetrack. Miller was talking utter b/s today. I was...

So What Exactly Did Yamaha Bring To Qatar? When Yamaha showed up to the Qatar test we noticed that they came with the whole Petronas team and the whole Monster Energy team but they also came with the Yamaha Test Team with the riders being Cal Crutchlow, Katsuyuki Nakasuga, Kohta Nozane. The...

Okay so they had a terrible fire that destroyed all the bikes that were taking part at the Jerez test. What I want to know is why there aren't duplicates, after all what would happen if a bike got destroyed racing especially as they are electric. I think they're trying to run this series on a...

I'm sure this is a stupid question and no doubt we've been through it before. What are the satellite bikes - are they just previous year factory bikes? Do they get new things and test them for factory bikes or the other way round? The 3 satellite bikes that were in the top 4 the other...

Legitimate question for you folks out here. I know a few posters do have liter bikes. My question is, isn't it sort of overkill for public roads? I'm not understanding for public road riding what a liter bike is going to give you in terms of speed that you can't get from a 600 given that obvious...

Hello all, I am looking for a website that has pictures of each bike in the 2015 MotoGP season. I found this site Piloti e Teams - MotoGp - Sport - Repubblica.it but it is a bit out-of-date. Is there another site out there that I haven't yet discovered. Some team websites of course have some...

I was thinking this morning about what the most radical GP bikes ever preduced were? Of course in the current era rules are pretty tight so leaves no room for innovation or ideas (like limit of 4 cylinders). But while I was reading a historic article on old F1 engines such as the BRM H16, it...

From Krops site - https://motomatters.com/news/2015/09/30/marc_marquez_fractures_left_hand_while_t.html Marc Marquez has broken his left hand for the second time this season. While out training on a mountain bike, the reigning MotoGP champion fell, and fractured the fifth metacarpal of...

Suter to produce and sell 'brand new' 500cc GP bike | Bike Social I wonder how much it will cost...I'd love to own one.

Hello, I'm Phelps. I've been living here for the last 12 years. I'm from Italy. I'm a big racing fan and I'm very fond of GP and racing bikes. I've sold recently a classical car I owned for years when I lived in Italy, and now I'd like to buy a GP bike to be used from time to time, and even I...

http://jalopnik.com/...on-a-motorcycle http://jalopnik.com/...on-a-motorcycle As he mentions, he'll still wear them...it is a major issue with leg wear. I almost bought a pair of kevlar jeans once, problem was they were real stiff and didn't think I could wear em all day at work as they...

Good BSB And Motogp get bikes but certain seats will be spoke for ? Another SPANISH RIDER IN MOTOGP Anyone ?????????????? ========================================= Paul Bird flew out of Brands Hatch for a holiday in Barbados happy that he had sorted his racing plans for next season. The...

Apologies if this is in the wrong spot, but; After the comments about Ducat sales, with Rossi and Hayden riding Duc's. Everyone on here has more than a passing interest in bikes, and the performance of their favorite riders and teams. How many people on here have bought a serious sports bike...

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...

There's 3 races remaining and still there's not much talk going on re CRT bikes for 2012. We know Edwards has signed with Forward racing how ever there no bike as yet. The only bike that made it's public debut is the suter/BMW. Are we actually going to see any bikes on the grid next year? Mr...

Really looking forward to the final weekend of BSB and top quality racing. Hopper, Hill and Byrne et al have made this season one of the best in recent years, no one rider dominating the season (Kiyo/Camier/Lavilla)

How many bikes are there going to be on the grid next year? All of these CRT bikes joining but with only 8 rounds remaining this year all's quiet. A bit worring is that honda are rumored to be down sizing to 4 bikes . Honda 4 bikes Yamaha 4 bikes Ducati 6 Suzuki 1 ? So where is...
