Honda have admitted they were not ambitious enough in their performance targets for 2007. The world championship-winning manufacturer have struggled since MotoGP's switch from 990cc to 800cc bikes, prompting Honda HRC chief Satoru Horiike to admit they are lacking power.
"We must recognise that...
In what may be seen as the biggest shock of the 2007 MotoGP Forum Fantasy League Championship Dakuva Mobile have gone back on their word to never hire Randy De Puniet again!
The frog in sunglasses has amazingly been announced as the replacement for fired Alex Hofmann. This comes as a great...
In Spain, this week’s issue of Solo Moto is reporting that Pedrosa was actually running a chassis modification in Jerez that Nicky’s RC212V still hadn’t yet received. Apparently the #26 bike sported a Showa shock with a different mounting system, whereas Hayden’s bike still used the same...

It does make me wonder if Marco will make the switch to Ducati or Yamaha next year. Honda are renowned for this idiotic view they hold that the rider isn't important in development, and Melandri seems really pissed off.
The way I see it...
Why does Hayden have trouble turning his Honda and Pedrosa does not appear to have problems? Last year Hayden had clutch problems but Pedrosa rose above it. Is is a setup problem, different bike chassis, or rider skills?
For the past 20 plus years HONDA has dominated in pre and season racing...why not now...why not 2007 (so far)
It came to me in a dream....
the NSR...the best bike out there in the 500 days....why?
First there's Wayne Gardner on the 500...

Honda have give Marco Andretti the chance to live up to his family name by handing him his first F1 test drive in Jerez next week.
The 19 year old from the USA is the son of former Mclaren driver Michael and the grandson of 1978 World Champ Mario.
Andretti proved his driving credentials by...
I know Honda wonthe Constructor's Championship.
Did Repsol win the Team Title? Or is that one still up for grabs? I'm pretty sure they did but I'm still not 100% certain.
The Rider's Championship is, of course, undecided.
Seriously.
That is the Ugliest bike in the Paddock!
I Bought a CBR 1000 because it was styled on the RC 211V.
But this new thing looks like a Designer forgot which way was up
and down. The M1 is now the best looking bike out there.
The tiny duck tail is a joke and the massive rear tyre guard is...

Honda `disappointed` as Rossi escapes punishment.
Nicky Hayden`s Repsol Honda team manager has expressed his `disappointment` at the decision not to punish Valentino Rossi for allegedly overtaking under yellow flags during Sunday`s Australian Grand Prix.
Rossi is currently locked...
Some people have been saying that Rossi's Yamaha isn't as good as Dani's Honda. I'm sceptical about that right now. After watching the battle between Pedrosa and Rossi on Sunday, I'm pretty convinced that Yamaha is in fact comparable with the Honda. I could see both riders are pushing hard to...

Pretty lame really but still there's nothing better going on at the moment in the World of Moto GP.
Reports from www.superbikeplanet.com suggest that former MotoGP rider and AMA champion Kurtis Roberts will compete for a yet to be named Honda World Superbike team at the Brands Hatch round. It is not yet known whether the youngest of the Roberts racing clan will race the rest of the season or...
