Damn.. this is going to get interesting. Really hate seeing this happen but I guess they know whats best for Kawi and with how everything is right now you really cant be mad at them.

With the new 600 ninja losing 22 pounds you think they would be in a good position this year. Wins at the track turn into sales in the showroom. Not just at the motGP level...

this isn't the official announcement, there are still plenty of people denying that kawi has pulled out yet. certainly seems like early signs of demise but that hasn't been promised yet.

^^ True. RW is usually pretty accurate. Or at least not sensational.

Damn. Well, also now that the AMA is owned by Nascar...omg, this great depression is really pissing me off []

Not only that they improved the engine this year too, I was hoping they would pick up a bit
