Let's hope this is better than the POS they've been running.

Re: New Suzuki GSV-R
There is an article in this month's Sport Rider about Jr. and Hopper. I haven't read it yet, but I'm excited to see what they have to say.

This is going to be an exciting year. I'm curious to see how Vale does on the M1.

Re: New Suzuki GSV-R
did everyone see the specs? They only claim 220hp?? Weren't both honda and Ducati claiming 240+ last year and the RC rumored to maybe push 260 before the end of its life cycle??

It looks pretty cool. Hopefully Suzuki will put in the effort this year.

That fairing reminds me of circa 80's GSXR's.

One thing I do know, I'd fire Hopper's ass quick if I was Suzuki. He's a punk.

The last few interviews with him reminded me of Biaggi at Yamaha. Could just be me.

Re: New Suzuki GSV-R
He still does a lot of stupid teenager stuff but it would be frustrating. Sounds like Suzuki is slow to make any changes. KRJ seems to have just resigned himself to racing for the last few points every race but I'm sure he has the same complaints about Suzuki that Hopper does.

No me too. His GF is hot, but just as whiney.

Re: New Suzuki GSV-R
I have not seen or heard any resent interviews with him. All I have to go by are the ones when he was winning in Fomula Extreme with the AMA. Where did y'all see/read these interviews? motogp.com? or is there anything in the new cycle world motogp article

Which to me, seems very lacking. It only talks about his traveling and who's house he stayed at, etc...

Tell me some stuff man!? Talk about the bike some, if you can that is...

When I say "can", I am refering to him having the "ability" to talk about it, like colin did the cube, not IF they'd let him...

Yeah I wonder if Suzuki keeps him from talking about the details of the bike? All he ever says is they keep waiting for new parts.

Maybe Suzuki tells him not to talk about the bike since he can't.
