Cool video Blaine. I think everyone is interested in how the 800s are going to perform next year and which riders/teams are going to have the edge over the others.

aren't the 800's already testing at the same lap speeds as the 990's?

yes, the duck is lapping as fast as the current bike.

again the governing body fails to understand the technology in the sport

engines aint the key laptime component. its chassi,driveablity and tyres, which have been relentless improved for decades.

still good to see a fresh start to a new season,
