Suzuki's new weapon.




<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Chris V &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">“The new bike looks great and is already a lot better to ride than last year’s GSV-R. It feels quicker and I am able to get on the power better out of the corners. The handling is even better than it was so that is a huge plus - because it was very good already! Suzuki has worked really hard on this bike and listened to what we wanted, and tried to come up with a solution for everything we gave them. It is not quite the finished article yet, but I am sure that when the season starts it will be pretty close to it!”</TD></TR></TABLE>

“I have been with Suzuki a short while but for me they are very switched on and are trying their hardest to make the bike the best it can be for the new season -. I still feel like I have a new toy! Suzuki is certainly listening to what we want. We asked for changes after each test and the next time we have ridden the bike they have been made, so that is all good. The bike also looks great with the new design; I love the colour and look forward racing in it!”

Rossi is paying over $50,000,000 in taxes for '01-'06. http://www.crash.net/motorspor....html

Even tho he was living in England, I guess he has to pay Italy's tax? I unno someone fill me in. That's a lot of zeros.

$50mil? I'm sure that's just a drop in the water for Rossi. Maybe he can sell his hair to locks of love.

I noticed that besides the Suzookies, VR's M1 hits blazingly fast speeds down the straight. 266.009 kph vs Stoner's 261.311 kph. Also the track was half wet and drying out.

well keeping in mind that the sunday test was in the rain, and the later part of the day was drying up.

the top two times were held by bikes on bridgestone tires. This just goes to show that bridgestone definitely isnt backing down from last year, and neither is Casey Stoner.

Im glad to see that Yamaha's new pneumatic valve inline four motor is making the extra 5 horsepower that Rossi is using to keep himself up on top. Im also glad that he's not regretting the switch to bridgestone.

Im not a Casey Stoner fan but its clear that either Ducati has the bike set up REALLY well, or Stoner is REALLY fast. Either way, props to them.

Cant wait for the opener in Qatar.
