Re: New HRC Likey or no Likey?
Only one question comes to mind. What is with the exhaust systems MotoGP seems to promote? When they had the 500s, people bitched about the noise and they all had to comply with a 103 dbA limit, but now it seems like if it doesn't sound like a funny car, it ain't happening . . .

Does Laguna Seca get a Variance from the Noise By-Law for the race weekend?

I know that Track Day Bikes have to have Steet Legal Exhaust Systems

100% Love it

I would trade Purdust's 750 for it as well

I can't wait to see them on the track against the other mfg's bikes.... Would be cool if Repsol changed their scheme a little.... Been about 20 years of the same look!

I like it. Just dont care for the sweep on the hugger though. Does'nt flow with the rest of the body lines (styling). Hopefully it performs well.

It's five. That's why they have five races a year. It use to be six. But I think that is used up with a test day, now.

The HRC pipes look like a chopped stock GSX750 and the Suzuki MotoGP 800 pipes look like the HRC V5. What the heck?
Like Abtech said - what happened to all the noise complaints?

The Suzuki looks like a normal sized man could ride it. The Honda looks really awkward to ride. Look at how Pedrosa has to scrunch behind the shield. Man, my back hurts just looking at it.

Bring back the 2 strokes I say! You can knock off another 80 lbs, 5 inches + get some serious noise. Of course, only weight-lifting midgets could ride the SOBs.
