Do you think they will be able to run a 1198 next year?

I want to say they are on it now.  And that it is at its maximum I mean maximum that the development of the hp performance has reached a limit. If they were  to improve it any more would cost millions.  Hey maybe we could go V 4 like a gp motor. aprillia has done it ;D

Also, my friend Ed at Dyna Reno explained to me that Ducati had three bikes completing races Haga, Fabrizio and Burns. Yamaha had like one and a half because Sykes can not keep up and Spies did most if not all of Yamaha factory points winning. One bike one guy

Mikey, your dyno guy has made an interesting observation
It's possible to buy championships.
The Yankees are a great example of money buying the best talent.
Yamaha has Spies ,Jorge and Vale (in different series)
Ducati has Haga, Fabrizio and Stoner.

Both teams have leased a TON of talent. 
George Steinbrenner does the same.

Haga for the effin win! This man deserves a championship and I know Spies wants it before leaving. I do want a fight to the finish on the last round but if Haga doesn't win...then Kaze am cry.  :'(

Haga!!! He's going to win. Who's George Steinberger??

George owns the New York Yankees (where cash is king)
If they can't win the get Manuel Rivera
If they still don't win, the get Derek Jeter.
If that doesn't work,  They get A.ROD
