That would ruin all the fun of looking at each other and saying "What the make the beast with two backs' did he just say"

Can't wait to see the real bikes in Qatar.

The most interesting thing to look for on the Ducs are the replacement to the wings. Other than the wider fairing around the radiator, I can't find any other change. The gills have been there for a while.

The Yamahas on display at their "launch" were '14 and '15 bikes painted with the '17 livery.

Ducati are allegedly '17 bikes with '16 bodywork painted in '17 livery.

That's some bullshit right there, even though I understand why they're doing it. Before the age of winglets, copying each other's fairings would not provide that much improvements. If the above is the case, I would assume that they won't even break out the complete bike until Qatar.

Another comment from Domenicali sez they found more engine performance

That has to just make the competition shudder.

That just seems to have every element of a possible disaster! Worst case he high sides and the bike runs over him making him bleed out at the top of the mountain. Seems like there is another "stunt" HRC or Red Bull could pull off without endangering the kid's life and/or career.

That being said, those tires were medieval bad-a$$.
