MotoGP question

...and then it can go over 200, and you can make it to the North Pole and back in 10 minutes.

Are you talking race wise or selling wise?

Either way... racing they've beat honda not only in GP but also WSBK. And selling wise, Ducati's sales are up by a lot compared to everyone else if I recall.

Not sure why you think Honda is the Big bad wolf when they are clearly another manufactor that gets it wrong and right just like the others.

No, Honda is an international company that sells cars, bikes, generators, jet skis, snow mobiles, etc etc. They are huge and have deep pockets, witness their FOUR bike lineup. Ducati does not have the deep pockets. I love their bikes and the sport, but they can not begin to compete with Honda on spending. It's that simple.

Kawi, Suzuki, Ducati, Yamaha, MV Augusta and Honda have all won GPs but next year the only competition will be honda, yamaha and possibly ducati. I don't see Suzuki or Kawi out there throwing money away.

I get your point and by your own definition, that would include Kawi as well in the dominating force because that company is huge but yet you can't find a single one of their GP bikes on the grid...

Honda my have all the money in the world but they have only proved the exact opposite of what you're saying. They have gone out and spent 10x's that of other companies and have only won 1 ship since Rossi left in 2004. And even now they've spent crazy cash to get the bike were it is and the best riders to ride it but yet only lead the ship by 30 something points.

I never said Honda had good management or were smart :rofl

Kawi does not care because they had the best sales in the US due to the Ninja 250. :laughing They don't need MotoGP.
