MOTOGP » Kawasaki turns attention to 2009

Insert next year number in same story from this point last year...
Why can''t they concentrate on THIS year at some point this year?

Why can't they yurn their attention to making their road bikes more reliable!!?? Mine's broken again! Grr...

Sorry, I meant "turn". Doh!

I hope they pull their act together because "Kawasaki" at present is almost a synonym with "hopeless".

Couldn't agree more Buelliful. It's Groundhog day again. Bill Murray should be riding the bike for all the good it'd do!

Checa said no to Kawasaki and Aspar. He stays in SBK. That says it all.

And I suppose next year will be focussed on success in 2010?

Normally a team brings out a press statement full of positives and anticipation, however unrealistic it may be.
This time it even lacks that

Maybe they need to look at what Suzuki have done. I know they are not world beaters, but they have moved up the ladder with quite a few podiums over the past few seasons.

Maybe a change in management, some fresh engineering staff, a rider with some development skills, lets face it West could not develop a cold and there was no forward movement at Suzuki with Hopkins prior to Denning and Vermeulen and now Capirossi.

Look at the inroads Ducati have made since it came back into GP, it kinds makes the efforts of Kawasaki and even Suzuki to shame.

Mark S, On what basis can you claim "West cannot develop a cold". He has complained of a lack of front end feel all year and Kawasaki have done nothing to address it. The much more likely scenario is that Ant has been clear about a development path and Kawasaki are incapable of providing it....
