So the Honda's were fastest on the 1000cc bikes. What do you guys think? Do these numbers mean anything at this point? Or is it to early to tell.

I think that Honda already has a winning bike!
Ducati is still developing theirs! The change to the Aluminium frame allows them as Rossi has stated to alter the positioning of the engine etc to hopefully achieve the balance required. Once this has been sorted, then perhaps they will go back to the monocoque?

Too early to tell IMHO.

Seems they might be changing the angle of the cylinders in the motor too!

Too early to say. There will be vast improvements during the winter; especially since the testing restrictions are gone

Fella's;

I agree with Tapit. Too many missing riders, too early in the test cycle, too many unknown X factors. Anybody hangin' next season on these numbers is just askin' for their comeuppance.

Maybe to early to tell I agree, but if you look closely it will be a two horse race between Honda and Yamaha. 1.5 seconds is alot to make up. Think positive
