What kind of engineers are Kawasaki employing in that team? Every rider has been going on about lack of rear traction for about 6 months now! What a pathetic effort. They should start listening to their riders and actually try new things! what an idea, trying something different rather than ploughing on with a fruitless endeavour. Even last years bike was better for %^&%'s sake.

That team skits me to tears, mostly cos Westy and Hopkins deserve better.

Well done Westy! You showed them its not the rider but the bike. I love the comment by the Australian journalist when told Kawasaki was entering 3 bikes next year-"They will be able to fill the complete rear row by themselves".

Kawasaki are well known for ship building...perhaps the plans got mixed up between workshops.

Half the reason that Kawasaki paint their bikes green, is so when they crash, it's hoped the marshalls can't find them in the grass.

imagine that... the ships would be the fastest things on the ocean. A supertanker at 300k's!

The Kawasaki's were doing better with Nakano. This is what you get when you hire a couple of SuperBikers to Ride and do Development. They go backwards.
Heres Hoping Marco Melandri will bring it to the MidPack at least. And if Shinya Nakano is not already taken maybe put him on a 4th Bike

Kawa did better with Nakano because they probably listened to him due to Nakano being Japanese. I can't see Marco try too hard on the Kawa, for sure Hopkins is/will try harder than Marco. Marco needs a VERY gentle bike, like the Honda.

"hire a couple of SuperBikers to Ride and do Development."

Man, I get sick of reading this. What do you think engineers and test riders get paid for? To design, build and develop a bike! You can only do so much if you are given a sack of **** to work with in the first place.

Anyway, it's been a long time since Hopkins rode a Superbike... IMO he is a MotoGP rider now, not a superbike rider. It's like saying PeDerosa or Lorenzo are 250 GP riders.

Hopkins is not a superbike rider, he's an overrated GP rider.

I just gotta say I have managed to make it to 3 different grand prixs this year and Hopkins made more time for the fans than any other rider and extremely down to earth ! Plus if I recall right hopper has broke his hip , his back and both his knee and ankle in just one season so you can accuse him of overriding a crap bike but not being an overrated rider !
