Daytona Superbike race and Yamaha?
Admittedly, I've been living in a cave for awhile, so go easy on me. In the 15 lap Superbike race there were only 2 Yamaha R-1's who finished 32nd and 34th. Does Yamaha still field a Superbike team, or are the other bikes just that much better for racing? I know everyone loves Honda's here, but it's kind of funny to see all Honda and Suzuki in the results.

Yamaha and Kawasaki are concentrating on on Superstock with their liter bikes. That's where their factory bikes are.

Re: Daytona Superbike race and Yamaha?
and honda has their money invested in the extreme class this year, it seems.

this realy sucks cause you don't see the best going against the best, and it really dilutes every category, instead of making one division very strong and exciting.

Yeah I don't post very much, plus I lost a few posts when the forum changed once. I do view the site a bit to get some good information from everyone. I appreciate the info and welcome. I should be on more as I pick out some new skins to replace the Sportecs on my 01 929, and contemplate a new purchase.

Post 2 - pretty soon I'll average out to over one post a year.
