...but Kawasaki is partnering with Bimota on their new project. It should be an interesting bike.

First test session on the Kawalski.

BMW’s plans for the bike they intended to use in this year’s World Superbike Championship have been thwarted â€" the proposed frame for the M 1000 RR has been rejected by both Dorna and the FIM.

The manufacturer sought to use the frame developed in 2024 under the superconcessions rules. However, other manufacturers raised objections. According to GPOne.com, Dorna and the FIM ruled against it, forcing BMW to retain the production model’s frame.

The governing bodies emphasized that superconcessions are meant to assist teams and manufacturers facing greater challenges, aiming to create a more competitive grid.

I thought it would be hard to go backwards from the spangled Trackhouse livery, but....just wow. Gulf's contribution must have only been a couple cases dino lube.

That's all well and good, but the fact remains that KTM's problems are directly related to the 300,000 bikes in warehouses that don't meet current Euro emissions, not their participation in GP.

Pierer should be replaced with a businessman, as opposed to an egotistical millio/billionaire.

Apparently they misread the post covid market and over produced and over invested. Seemed they were doing great until a serious miscalculation in strategy. I didn't know about the emissions side of it. Such a shame.

Looks like the Aprilia boss saw a chance to draw a long bow and beat the budget drum. Any chance to address soaring costs despite no causal connection i guess. I would have to agree with the moto airplane comment.

Wanna play? Gotta pay.

Massimo knows that. His pleas are disingenuous.

Yes it does appear that way. An honest approach would be lobbying for the removal of aero/wings for cost and competitive reasons.

They'res a lot of complaining about Ducatis advantage but I remember when the complaints were about Honda.
