I really believe that the current ZX-RR is a good race bike without the personell to fully show it's potential. Even Shinya, as good as he is, I don't think he had the absolute racing desperation of someone like Hopkins to really push Kawasaki to be it's best. It looks to me like the new bike steers real well and it has had great top end all year. I hope Kawasaki can follow in Suzuki's footsteps and finally deliver on their promises of competitiveness, so long as they can get the right riders on board as well.Get off my lawn

im gonna be real disappointed if my man hopkins leaves suzuki. especially now that he has done the hard yards and stuck it out while suzuki were struggling. to leave now that suzuki appear to have turned the corner would be a shame. he is a great rider to watch and id be very disappointed to see him go elsewhere. i think suzuki have a good team going with he and chris the V, hopefully it stays that way.

maybe money will play a role in making his choice?

Another interesting conundrum all this rumor poses is....... who goes where once the first domino falls????
Exciting times with the silly season ahead peeps :
Latvala already said for 2025-2026 they should just take the hybrids out.
