New MotoGP bikes ugly
I think some of the new MotoGP bikes arnt as attractive as there predicessors with the mid fairings hollowed out at the front and there "new" 16" wheels looking like an early 80's throwback...

And the repsols hugger is bigger than the ducktail

I think the Honda looks sweet but the KR212's gas tank looks like it was taken from an old generation GSXR(early '90's models).

Ya, screw the aerodynamics. I think they should make them pretty and pink for you fellers instead.


I think they look great!

The important thing is they have the rear caliper on the bottom where it belongs...

Lots of black this year. Although that may be the pre-season colors.

Seat unit on the Honda is very short. It would make a good basis for a streetfighter.

Should be AMA Superbike, Supersport, and then MotoGP. I don't know if the 125 and 250 will ever come to the states. We have too many other classes going on in the US.

The 125/250's more often than not, provide even better racing than MGP...shame they are not in the Laguna schedule. Probably something to do with marketing, 125 & 250 2T's are not so popular in the US I'd imagine??
