What a tease.
M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.

Word is, he volunteered to do it too since the last tests got rained out and he felt he "owed" Honda something...

When exactly did he owe them anything? They owed him a good bike to ride!

Bah. Not sure the meaning of all his tests.

My guess is HRC likes him to test their bikes because he is faster than their regular test riders, so finds things that they can't. I've read where that can be a problem...GP riders discovering things that the test riders couldn't.

Pretty sure there was a boat load of sarcasm in OT's post.

He was fast on the under powered bike they sold this year. I'm sure a few of the teams thought that they were going to be competing against the Ducs after those tests.

The question is whether the bike he tested was actually what they delivered to the teams, or if Stoner proved t to be too fast so they slowed it down before delivery.

As I recall, the final redux on that was that the lap time deficit of the production bikes was with a test rider on board.
Rather than with Stoner on board, which was strongly implied by the statements.
