...is it just me or does the suzuki look like a brick
why does Pedrobot have a different swingarm to other Honda's?
I kinda like Kallio's paint job [thumbsup] ...Barbera's is hideous [puke] It'll be easy to tell who they are during a race though.
The Honda and the Suzuki both look chunky to me. The new Duc tail is odd...can't decide if I like it.

Probably the difference between the factory and satellite machines... and who knows after the poor showings they may swap /shrug. Barbera runs a different swingarm on his duc and Kallio runs the same one as Stoner. Probably the carbon/aluminum difference there.
[thumbsup] to all the pretty dry clutches.

I also like Padrosa's child booster seat.
That Suzuki tank!?! If Capi isn't circumcised, he will be the first time he slams on the binders going into T1.
An all gold fork grid..assimilation complete.

Are you talking about just the sliders or did you not look at the Ducs?

He's talking Ohlins.
No more vertical exhaust on the duc...and I can't tell: is that the CF swingarm?
Nice pics, and the duc swingarm does look like cf
I think most of the bikes look even more compact and brick like than last year. A lot of the fairings have very little slope to them.

Sounds like
Suzuki's entire R&D approach to MotoGP ;D Wouldn't expect that from Honda.
Maybe I don't have such a refined eye yet, but I don't really find Babera's bike all that hideous, I think it's pretty sick. Is it really all that different than Rossi's bike from Camel Yamaha? Is it the yellow noone's really a fan of? I can see how the rainbow numbers could be seen as a poor choice . . . please someone enlighten me.
Is that a phone book under Pedrobot's seat? [laugh]
