Bear with me..I'll translate the article in a mo

This is a precis of the Neil Spalding article from AMCN this month. Yamaha has effectively built an M1 with Ducati style weight distribution: weight bias is set towards carrying more weight over the rear. The most successful Bridgestone tyres have been designed to work this way on the Ducati...

Yamaha's superbike racing pedigree is terrible. They are the only one of the Japanese factories not to have won the world championship, and their only major superbike titles are the McKenzie BSB titles and the 91 AMA crown. Whats their problem? They have made race specials like the R7, they...

I was watching the Misano FP1 highlights on MotoGp.com and I could have sworn the factory M1's are running a new fairing. It looks as though the area around the hands has got more coverage and they are starting to look a little Ducati like in their profile. Did anyone else notice or do I need to...

MCN Interesting he's already been given a taste, Yamaha are obviously very keen for Lorenzo to be competitive from the start of next season. I would think that if Fortuna are happy to let him ride they may be locked down as a sponsor for next year, I assume he's riding an unpainted bike at the...
