Walker plays down Kawasaki feud.

Sort Comments:

Walker plays down Kawasaki feud.

Chris Walker insists he has left Kawasaki on good terms after reports had suggested the Gil Motorsport Supersport team were furious with his sudden switch to Superbikes.

Like the 32 year old age limted in WSS next year that would leave Walker with out a ride.

If the bike had been podium material, as Walker no doubt is, he would be still be at Gil. As it is he was effectively invisable to most teams, due to such a poor bike. So he had to do something to raise his public profile to stand a chance of a SBK ride next year.

Sounds like he was between a rock and hard place.

I hope it pays off Mr Walker.

Chris knew he had to move to a winning brand. Honda is a proven company with top rate machinery and proven support. Kawasaki is struggling in every series there is. BSB not competitive, SBK Lack-coni who??? WSS Honda's their daddy,AMA thank god for hacking.
So i cant be mad at Chris for jumping ship.

Kawazaki are good for one thing, filling up grid spots, havnt done anything for years, and at the start of every season you know its gonna be the same, if a rider wants to end there career they should sign for kawazaki, cos thats what happens, if chris didnt go to the 500gp on that bike, he was offered a ride on the factory bike in wsbk but turned it down, chris is a great rider, but will never be rembered as a great, because he makes bads decisions.

Kawasaki....what a shame ! all teams, including wsbk, world supersport, stock and motogp ....no results at all. Their choice of teams are wrong if they want to catch results. KAWASAKI need professional teams who invests in development and testings.
KAWASAKI choice others teams to run your magic bike. Dont' fill up the grid...but fight for titles !!!!!
