jhenley17 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I root for Ducati and Suzuki just in hopes that an underdog makes it to the top and breaks the Honda-Yamaha war. I haven't cared for Honda's factory team since Hayden's departure, though. Besides being a Rossi fan, I had higher hopes for Spies and Crutchlow.

Member Contributer 2FAST4U Posted June 6, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 6, 2016 I root for Honda and Yamaha. In case anybody doesn't know, KTM will be racing in MotoGP next year (can somebody confirm they'll be racing at the premier level?) Also, I'd really like to see the return of Kawasaki as well as BMW and Triumph race at the premier level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a new track on the calendar, although it's an old track. Kallio and DePuniet are the test riders so you'd assume they'll be on the bikes for the race. As for Kawasaki, BMW and Triumph - not going to happen in the foreseable future. Kawasaki are all-in for WSB (where they are the team to beat), BMW will need an all-new S1000RR to even consider returning to WSB, and Triumph have never dabbled any higher than WSS.

Darrenk Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I like Marquez and Pedrosa, but I really think Vinales is going places... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianF Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I like Lorenzo and Marquez just because it's fun when Rossi fans get butthurt. Otherwise, I've always rooted for Duc's racing teams, and really would like to see Dovi do well. Vinales too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted June 16, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm conflicted...I have Rossi and Marquez stickers on my cage. I proudly display a Colin Edwards sticker on the VFR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Honda would just produce that ever eluding RVF1000! I agree, I'm glad to see him fighting for the podium again. If Honda would just get with the times, we could all be happy. I don't know what BSB looks like, but there's only one Honda in MotoAmerica, that ought to say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
