Is it still a big-bang L4?

Has anyone confirmed what layout Honda's 800 will be? V4? V3?

Haven't heard anything about the Honda, but Rossi was not the only one testing new toys... Check out Capirossi.

Wonder if they are going to like it or hate it coming off of what they have gotten used to.

True. I don't have cable @ home, so I usually wait for a friend to get me a copy. I prefer to watch the race w/o knowing who wins, than to just see the results being posted. I am usually very careful about avoiding knowing how it ends. Too bad.

Search for "mites will rule" and you'll see Bake, and recently nedro, having a go at me after my argument the change in displacement will not change who the dominant riders are at all...
