All you can do is add whatever exhaust system you want, and fuel (maybe also spark) map to the Spec ECU.

Otherwise, it's a sealed Honda 600 lump from the engine provider, Geo Technology.

then that kid gets off the corners REALLY well.
Like this is the racing, no?

Maybe or not.  There were more than a couple straight runs that he started out neck and neck or slightly behind and pulled through and then sometimes lost the corner entry.  I'm thinking it's more than just a corner shot. Of course, being hooked up with Repsol and HRC doesn't hurt at times.   [roll]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

He simply out motors everyone.  It's not the drive out of the corner.  If it was he would immediately start to gain when on the straights.  He starts to gain 2/3 down the straights.  And he's not taking advantage of the slipstream and he's not out breaking the others.



And the rubbing elbows, you're right, that is fun and part of racing.  But taking out someones front tire is a bit of a lowlife move.  I can understand if he did it once, got too close but it's becoming his signature move.

I think the difference between Marqez's bike and others could be the money that Repsol has put in the chassis componentry and fairing dynamics somewhat. Sure there is money spent in the mapping and computer protocols that others probably aren't fully able to utilize, but I think they have spent more in maximizing the package.

That is one thing that I kinda like about Moto2 in comparo to GP currently, as the rider and frame/chassis builder can make the difference like in the old 250 days.

...and it would make sense that the aero advantages come into play in the middle to end of the straight.

and the fact that he weighs only 3 oz. more than Pedrosa helps.

Carbon fiber skeleton also helps. ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

recall that in qatar he was sometimes visibly holding off from passing on the front straight.  that bike is very slippery
