@Razkull Well yes, it will always be a matter of who can use the bike the best. But it's not a question of faster or more powerful - one of the reasons they cut down to 800cc was to make them safer. But by making them more agile in the corners, the corner speed increased a lot, and that's where accidents happen! So it didn't make much sense. What I'm keen on seeing from the 1000cc, was what we saw on the 990s - the sliding and the hecticness! The unpredictibility that makes this a great sport
@Razkull yea its so much power that its about who can get the bike thru the corner safely and who can get the bike pointed in the right direction to let the bikes power do the work
aaah, back in the 990cc era! Can't wait for next year for the litre engine!!

@akamikeg I question how much different it will be.. they can already power wheelie in 6th gear.. *shrug*
I think it's more of a question of who can use the power best, but I'm not sure how the bikes can get that much faster.

@Razkull Oh, and they always make them faster! It's the way to go, it's how the sport evolves!

@akamikeg Haha that's true.. faster is better, and it makes them more inclined to ride them right on the ragged edge. I'm looking forward to it.
