8 houres of suzuka

Yeah don't know what they are doing lately. They also delivered it late for the WSBK team. Also messing around with the reliability of their stuff in Formula 1.

Not good! They better step up their game! adding electronic aids only is not good enough! They use to be known for their reliability most of all, excellent service and indestructible engines!

This is such a surface level view of the problems they've had. Maybe if you're a fan, read more into what's happening. New bike new tech, released just before a major race with barely any time to tune. What would you expect to happen? WSBK and TT also receive not formal backing from Honda. WSBK and BSB haven't gotten Honda support since 2003. Honda's CEO changed recently and there's been a big push towards racing finally. Besides all of that the reliability in F1 has been related to their KERS system and not the engine itself. The other part that most don't ever bother to think about is the engine token system. If you're only allowed to make limited changes to a drivetrain setup how are you supposed to tune and improve. Honda came in mid season and ended up with a whole host of issues. Nothing wrong with Yamaha but claiming the bike's paint doesn't stain as a metric of build quality is a joke. If you are incapable of caring for the bike that's the bottom line. The more brake dust you have the more agressive your pads are. I've had a 2012 CBR for a few years now and the bike is still factory fresh because I maintain it that way.

vidurc I understand where you are coming from but they have been designing this bike for the past 8 to 9 years? Is it not bad planning to release something so late when all the big competitions are starting? This is what they concentrate on now "racing" aspect. anyways, for me it seems they are heading towards the opposite difection. the consumer direction and concentrate only on how many they can sell and to who. for example, they discontinued the 600rr which was one of their most successful bikes ever!! no just Honda... any 600cc make to the consumers and in racing. They can't be bothered with the new regulations do they discontinued and conctrate on smaller bikes. In my opinion it just seems lazy! Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki can cope but Honda can't. I am perfectly capable of caring for my bikes and wash them every weekend, wax them and lube my chain. I am a bit of a perfectionist and when it comes to my tools and my bike it must be perfect. I only saw now that the clutch cover and engine covers have been finally covered with a more durable paint, along with the swing arm and rims only on the SP model. Meanwhile Kawasaji and Yamaha have been doing this for years. If you can be bothered... do some research and pay attention to detail... Honda and Suzuku have been slacking on paint quality when it comes to the engine cover, swing arm and rims. I get what you are saying but don't assume I dont take care of my shit! I just enjoy riding them rain, wind or sun! If you can't tell the difference between a cheap less durable coat of paint to a more expensive one then please watch some youtube videos on spray paint quality. It is quite easy to spot.

Also, I use sintered HH brake pads which is harder on the discs but better performance. Hence the reason I clean my bike every weekend as we folks in UK aren`t blessed with enough sun as well.

I'm pretty sure everything on the GP and WSBK grid is ride by wire... Hate the Honda implementation not the tech itself.

Weslao da Cb1000 WHAT?????
