Yeah I seen that. Doesn't sound promising though does it ?? I see the EBR Racing (Erik Buell) has found speed at Daytona with the 1125. I know he has a brand new bike that will be released in the coming weeks. The 1190RS. It's presently to my understanding get EPA approved then he can race it AMA. Really looking forward to that bike. Its expected to be raced this year but they are starting the season with the 1125R.

MotoGP: The Repsol Honda team enjoyed another productive day of Testing at Sepang on Wednesday, as Dani Pedrosa, Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso all finished inside the top four on the timesheet whilst accomplishing a solid amount of work on the development of their RC212V machines. Maybe Repsol will take home the Championship this year. I know the pressure has to be on Padrosa to win.

i don't think he will be winning that often.

i think stoner will be getting in his way all season. pedrosa's big plus last season was the fact he was so small on such a fast bike that he'd fly by the bigger riders on slower bikes (ex. - indy when he flew by spies on the straight. tiny pedrosa on a fast honda vs big 'elbows' spies on a privateer M1). now, stoner (who is only like 10 lbs heavier than pedrosa) will be on the same bike, and i think he is all around a better and smoother rider than pedrosa is.

not to mention semoncelli at sepang.... good stuff

Conrice, I agree, I am a Honda fan 1st, so I hope Stoner can bring home the title, if Pedrosa can't I think Pedrosa career with Repsol will be decided on how he finishes this year.

AMA: AMA Pro Racing just added Barber MotorSport Park, AL to the schedule. I noticed schedule does not have Road Atlanta on it... I hope this year they can re-gain fan interest this year.

I'm not betting on the Honda's at all really.To early to tell and not enough info out there yet. I think you guys are counting Rossi out a bit early. The man is King of deception,developing and head games to his rival's. I really think we're in for a hell of a ride either way.

I'm not counting anyone out... I hope there will be alot of different winners/podiums versus 2 or 3 guys all the time. I would like to see Nicky & Ben win at least one race this season. If Honda doesn't win the Championship I like it to be one of those 2 guys. But Rossi & Lorenzo I am sure will be in the hunt without any injuries.

Well Erik Buell just released the New EBR 1190 RS. It should be racing after Daytona. Geoff May will run a 1125RR for that. They are getting the Bike approved for AMA as I type. This thing is just sick.
