    I hate the commentary ohh the BMW is coming on ....well after all it's been 4yrs same when they say Honda riders doing well in 8th and crashing.no different in results than the last model and keep saying Ducuti power well as always more cc and a rider that is 20kg lighter also a talented rider ....As for Toprak would love to see him in Moto GP ..

    Looks that way. Is it just me or is everyone* being more robust with Rea since France? Definitely seems that more are willing to do harder overtakes on him.

    Don't agree with these new super concession ideas so BMW bespoke swingarm and Honda a new frame I thought that was all for MotobGP takes way what wsbk was brought in for ....

    Can't see him doing much on the Puccetti Kawasaki, hope they put a decent bike under him!

    You've got to take you're hat off to Bautista, totally dominated the whole season!! Toprak pushed all the way too but had a poor start to the season. Honda definitely shown progress so next season hopefully they'll be right back in the mix where they should be. Let's take nothing away from Ducati though, fully deserved this after what.....11, 12 years or something??

    Only fly in the ointment was Scott Redding trying to piss on the parade complaining about Bautista's size and weight:rolleyes:

    You had your chance on that bike lad and blew it, now you're stuck with BMW!! :eek:

    27950 for a new v4 s now 27995 with a 1 sticker on tank been years ....my thought on the rider weight is suck it up Ihe did nothing on the Honda so let him enjoy his title but give the others there revs back ....Yamaha went about it the right way with all the titles last year Ducati will plaster it every where ...hopefully Toprak and Fabio next year ...

    Well done to Bautista a deserved title, but would have been more interesting if Toprack had turned up at the start of the season.

    I understand the weight argument, most championships have something similar. If it means closer racing then I am all for it.

    As for the Ducati power, well other manufacturers need to up their game.

    Very true about Bautista on the Honda over last two years, think he got one podium in all that time, no one mentioned his size or weight then did they?! :rolleyes:
