Go Troy/Duc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far this has been a great season for Ducati fans. As old, under powered and slow as they are?

Now if we can just bring the GP6 motor over to SBK! If this happens perhaps Duc would give all their left over "L" twins to Buell at a discount, then both bikes would have a "real" motor.

Another step in the death of twins in racing, eh.

Did anyone bother to tell'm?

It still surprises me that an L2 can be that good in a field of I4s. After all an L2 will never be able to produce the power of an I4. Torque yes, power no.

I always thought that on a track, in the end, power is king. On the street torque rules, but on the track power rules.

So what do they do that makes them win?

It's fluke I tell ya. No probably they are cheating yes they are cheating that's the ticket.

Bayliss is a great rider.. I thought Edwards and him would do better in MotoGP..

He's an incredible rider if the scuttlebutt is true that the Ducs are down 20-30 hp to the 4s.

The Suzuki clearly has more power than the Hondas cuz Corser would pass on every straight.

johnnyb · 05-08-2006, 12:02 PM

dunno i seen Bayliss go by corser at least once on straight. What is rules difference between AMA anyway? They used to make I4 in WSB wear intake restrictors but i thought not anymore? anyway, big difference somewhere...

Clanking engines save lives. Thats not an oil leak, it's metal perservant.

What's that on my sock?

Dookaties indeed.

WSBK uses the control tire. Maybe the I4s are overpowering the rear tire and spinning and the more forgiving torque curve of the Ducati powers away.

What does this tell us all about those "antiquated" two cylinder engines???

What does this tell us about Ducati's chassis and engineering???
