They look lovely, but so small! They fit Pedrosa, everyone else is going to look like giants on those things.

they look great don't they.

i rekon the yam is the best looking - as above i think the honda tail is a little odd but other than that.........

i rekon hrc had a bit of thinking ahead when they signed pedrosa for moto gp it looks like the 800c/c is perfect for him

i'll bet all my v-cash he takes the title next year.

Melandri's apparently signed a pre-contractual agreement with Ducati. Would be awesome to see him and Capirossi on Italian bikes and having a proper go at the championship. Had it not been for the Catalunya crash that may well have been the case this year.

Gibernau looks off possibly to Kawasaki, though I'd like to see Gresini give him his old job back. Though they've lost Fortuna as a sponsor so I dunno how they'll be doing for money.

the yamaha most resembles a motorcycle. some of the others just look like turds with wheels. i wonder if ducati will keep thier swoopy liines?

nes: the swing arm may be a little bigger, but its mostly that the yamaha has a hole in the bracing area, and the honda just has the hole on the inside, beneath the metal.

As we mentioned in the other threads, geez they are pocket bikes big time!!! Agree on the look of the honda swingarm es nes, much larger than all others.

Nakano, is he confirmed for honda next year officially ? or still rumors at the moment??
