John Hopkins is heading back to MotoGP next year. There will be a new team, FB corse, that he's going to race for.

I'm glad that he will be back in MotoGP but he is always with the bottom teams. Hopefully he will just manage to stay healthy this coming season.

 

Was Hopkins ride ever confirmed? Sorry to say but he crashes more than he finishes.

 

The article said they would have an official announcement in Jan 2010. Hopper had a ruff year in WSBK. I wish him well. It makes me wonder how big of a change is it to go from WSB to MotoGP or vice a versa?

 

2010 it won't matter cause it will all be production based...er...prototype...er....pro...who da hell knows.

 

Does that mean I could buy one

I was watching the special about the Cobra that beat the Ferrari GTO at Daytona and they wouldn't sell it for 6.8 million. I think I would much rather have a GP or WSBK bike for that kind of coin. Not as much history perhaps but a much more noticeable.

 

If you have enough money I am sure it's possible... LOL!!!

 

Happy 2010!!! Just a few months away from race season... Let hope it will be very exciting season!!!
