Sweeeet! Now when is Kwackers going to come back and join the fray?

[Raux]

Personally I think Aprilia could pull off a bike easily

[gm2]

yeah, it'll probably happen

but this article is from MCN.. and they just say 'planned'.  i.e. this is the same report that's come out about 5 times.  every time they have a (not very) secret test.

It's quite obvious they''ll be back within the next 2 years.

[OT]

Sayonara CRT.....?

Sayonara CRT.....?

ultimately, that is what DORNA wants...CRT was a bandaid for the lack of machinery out on the grid and to help aid in the exponential costs versus a factory machine.

[Raux]

well if you think about it,

CRT is development for Aprilia, Kawa and BMW GP programs

[OT]

Thought they wanted as many bikes on the starting grid as is humanly possible...

[Raux]

could you imagine!!!!!! 
2xfactory 2x satellite for each of these!
that's a field of 28

Ducati
Honda
Yamaha
Kawa
Aprilia
BMW
Suzuki

[OT]

and increased testing/practice days/time, too.

And don't forget the Honda leases.
Some teams may go that route as it would be cheaper than developing a factory's bike for them...

nah, i think after 20+ it's diminishing returns for the sport/"show"

Engines are really nothing without the frame and software.
