Checa is doing well in a non factory team if you get my drift.

Upshot is, fast bikes will still be going round and around and Yamaha will still be competing.

On that basis, Suzuki might as well have quit racing 2 years ago. Laughing

Speaking of which, rumours flying around Twitter and stuff that Suzuki are next to pull out.

Between that, Yamaha going and talk of WSBK banning the new Ducati (or at least, replacing the 1000cc restriction), are we even going to have a Superbike championship for next year?

It's quite funny how Kawasaki have been working hard to get a decent bike out and once they finally start to get it sorted everyone leaves Laughing

Seriously though it only leaves aprilia and Kawasaki as factory teams! Oh I forgot Honda as well

And Honda will be scaling back their MotoGP activity next year. Who knows, their WSBK team could be next.

Don't they just mean from 3 and a half factory bikes down to two?

Hopefully it could signify some 1100/1200 cc 4 cylinder sports bikes on their way Smile.
