The Return on the "Go Show"?
my goodness...if this deal goes down, Honda will have the AMA Superbike title locked up....I was kinda holding out hope that Gobert would return aboard a Yamaha to give Honda some competition...but man, this one came outta left field!!! I guess it's good to be Big Red!!!

Hes not riding superbike I don't think. Superstock is what he is racing.

Plus Yamaha is not in superbike, only superstock.

there is some talk of a Graves Superbike effort....but you're right, Superstock is the rumored class...I meant to say Superstock...in either case, I'd like to see Gobert back in the AMA....the guy has a load of talent and he's one of my favorite riders...

Re: The Return on the "Go Show"?
I had heard some pretty strong rumors of him riding a Yamaha, so I too am surprised.
I find it very interesting that he will be riding a Honda, especially given the fact that Ben is on the factory team. I guess him riding in a completely different class makes it somewhat OK, though.
Too bad for Yamaha, good coup for Honda - if he can keep his head straight for a full season, which hasn't been done for five or so years.

While that may be true, right after the new year, Yamaha put out a press release that they were preparing a superbike developed by private contractors that would be ready by daytona...

I suspect that the big numbers and fast times they laid down at the Daytona tire test with the superstock R1 was enough for them to try some superbike development.

I mean face it, its gonna be a Honda/Ducati show this year in AMA...

Re: The Return on the "Go Show"?
Yamaha does have a bike that is Superbike worthy, the superstock bike was less than a second slower wasn't it? I'm not a fan of yamaha but, I think they should be in Superbike, same for Kawasucki. More the marrier in my opinion. But yes it will be Ducacti and Honda neck and neck this year. Will the Michelins be able to match Dunlop on our US pavement? Its funny how Michelin Dominates non US tracks, and Dunlops dominate the US circuits. The funny thing is I can't run with in 2 seconds of the times I run on Michelins with Dunlops. I really like the H2's once they have a couple laps on them. I really want a pair of slicks from both Mich and Dun, I need to get certified this year.
