"Another great rival for next season," said Valentino who admitted to being surprised that Ben was coming but agreed it was the right decision. Jorge Lorenzo agreed: "Class, a very strong character." However, the general warning was don't expect to do here what you've done in Superbike.
Like this is the racing, no?

Good news. :)

I genuinely hope he doesn't fall prey to the same failings as many other SBK transplants.

As far as JT goes, it is a step back IMO but I don't really give a crap about him anyway. He didn't win the championship in SBK until all the really serious guys left. His second was definitely more convincing.

it'll get some coverage.

acknowledgement... for?  i'll be glad to see JT be competitive again, but let's face it: he's already a 2-time wsbk champ.  this is nothing but a step backwards.
He still has a ride...

That sounds a bit optimistic. It's a Kawasaki.

rumors are a new zx10 for 2010...

i wouldn't exactly count kawasaki out of superbike....

for that matter, look at what melandri has done on the hayate.

Doesn't look like the "new" 10r will do him any favors over the "old" one: http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=38280

The Dornasaki doesn't count...

even at a newer ZX10R, unless someone can give them feedback to get their head out of their ass with, they are going to continue to suck. Their track record is to build a machine that no one can ride it seems since Eddie Lawson did it on a KZ1000 back in the early 80's.

i was a bit surprised that broc parkes didn't do more on the kawi.  but apparently you can't even put a qualy tire on that bike or it ruins the entire set up.  there's a bike that needs some revision...

hacking was making progress on the current "pos" zx10 last year.
