Good forward progress in SBK. No question a lot of areas to shine, with the Isle being one of them. Remember, 3 years:) A few additional pics since we abandonded the MV F3 in this thread:)
New Pazzo Levers
Exactly what I was going to say! Just 3 years. Check how long McGuiness has been riding a blade. How old is the ZX-10? How long Guy Martin has been racing? Michael Dunlop is the exception, he is psychotic, regardless of the bike you give him, he is going to be up there. Now who's riding the S Thou in the TT? Rob Barber? Beside winning the electric bike race, I dunno the guy. He doesn't even have a bio on the Isle of Man website. He did good in the Ulster with the highest trap speed but that's about it.
In WSBK, Jonathan Rea and his fireblade couldn't hang with the S Thou! It's a lot to ask for a Bike that's 3 years old. It came over and spanked the most successful manufacturers, and still got an upgrade every year while maintaining competitive prices. A ZX-14 MSRP in 06 was under 12k, look at the price now and it's not like they're not selling them. Same think for the ZX-10R and his fake steering damper.
I wanna give my hard earned money to a company who makes an extra effort to please is customer: rebate, financing, warranty etc. You can beat the Beemer. Hopefully, other manufacturers are listening but because kawasaki and Honda have hardcore followers, I doubt the situation will change much.
Jagman: don't forget the final touch.
