Yes, what a fantastic season for Checa, fair play hes wiped the floor hasnt he and so have ducati.
So this all singing dancing bmw ? Good effort in the superstock but still a good 40 points adrift of the red beast. 11 bmw bikes in superstock this season compared to 5 ducati ! I remember a lot of people blabbin on about the bm when it emerged and i thought it hasnt done anything yet ! Their touring bikes are good tho hahha ! Was gutted for rossi today, a good position on the grid, i thought he would have had a good ride today, especially with the ride through penalties issued to riders who normally sit in the 2nd pack. I still think ducati will get this right eventually and all these stoner lovers will be fillin their leathers when the beast is unleashed !! |

The word from Briggs is the bike is finally responding to changes how it should so it will be interesting to see at the next race

Rubbish. That thing would be too expensive to race. Did enough get sold to homologate it for production bike racing? Guaranteed if they could have raced it they would. (EDIT) Plus I don't believe it would be as competitive as some people think...
I don't expect any other response to such contentious issues here. It's like asking the host if the wine is any good ![]() C Last edited by Mr Cake; 02-10-2011 at 07:29 PM.. |

Would you believe me, Max, if I told you I hadn't watched a single WSB race this year?
I don't know how many R7s were made but I wish I had one. C |

Someone started this argument on another forum as well
![]() What about the 999 days? Were they on level terms then or did the Dukes still have more cc's? |

Cost rac3r, cost. Them 999 were almost as expensive to run as the gp bikes. They were getting through so many engines.

same CC but a slight weight advantage. This argument (Ducati advantage) comes up time and time again. Ducati have had air restrictors for years now and ballast is added if twin-engined bikes (read Ducati) wins too many races. The truth is that Ducati did and does better than other brands at SBk, see for example Honda or BMW . They believed in the advertising power of SBK from day one, and it paid off.

You could also take the view that Ducati are a small company compared to the others?
