I always thought they were supposed to be building a V6 superbike? I guess it's all just crazy rumour for now.Quote:

We have searched high and wide for the latest in material technology, (Ma Jong, our guru aquisitions manager, found an innerspring mattress dumped on the corner that had the right steel to toddler pee ratio that garuantee's both strength and flexibility for a full race distance. Testing of the bike will be carried out by Wun Bung Lung, (he is a legend in the area for his ability to bring home his rubbish refuse tricycle despite a bent frame and wheel damage due to an encounter/collision with Ma Ling the Gas man on his delivery bicycle). All in all, we are confident that our team and sponsors (Lucky Bite Sea Weed and Immitation Hubcap Company), can produce the results in 2008.
I must add, (this will be 4,000 posts) that we will be using Sti Lie Fuk tyres, (formerly Mie Dik Fat Condom Company) to supply what we think will be a breakthrough in tyre technology throughout the season. We hope to raise the profile of our team as the year progresses, though it will depend on testing results.
by you own admission your bike is based on a production bike so if you enter it in MotoGP I will have to enter a protest at the FIM ;)
AHH Haa, Our design concept is only based on the CG125, but using a top secret formulation of 2nd hand Tour de France nylon bicycle pants and cats urine, we are able to construct a frame that is 20% lighter than a dogs fart, and stronger than the smell of baby vomit on the back seat of a 1978 Cortina on a hot summers day. So there :laugh:Quote:

Thanks for your comments. As exciting as the possibility may be, I will still be surprised if their proposed 6-cylinder (yes, most likely a V-6) indeed ends up a MotoGP engine. Based on what I do know, I always figured the current 800cc rules kinda frowned on multi-cylinder engines greater than 4's. Regardless, definitely something to look forward to (for me anyway) in the many months ahead.Quote:

MCN had an ardicle a few weeks ago saying BMW would enter SBK in 2009, rumours about the BMW 190/190 have been around for a while now.
