    That should be fun :)

    I reckon the CrT will be a great series, it's just basically another series on track at the same time as the main motogp boys, it's bound to be really competitive so up and down the track there will be loads of battles.

    I can't wait

    Given ten kate honda have had 235 out of a blade engine within wsbk tuning rules, i dread to think what they can manage with no tuning limits.

    remember they also have 5 litres of fuel extra over the full fat fsactory bikes next year.

    Absolutely stunning news !!!

    Gresini are a very professional team with experienced Technicians, great links with Honda and are well established in the Motogp Paddock. FTR have proved their stuff in the highly competive arena of Moto2 and I reckon with the extra fuel and unlimited tuning 240 bhp could be got out of the Blade engine and with it being the 20th Anniversary of the Fireblade I reckon Honda will be keen to invest in the CBR1000RR engine project, possibly offering HRC support.

    On paper it sounds great lets hope they manage to put a good rider onboard.
