After a result for Suzuki getting on the podium at Phillip Island do any of you think Kawasaki will get on the podium at any of the last remaining rounds this year, also
how do you think they will get on next year with the new 800cc bikes i.e will Kawasaki have put enough effort in devoloping a new engine to give Honda,Ducati and Yamaha a run for there money. B)

I don't know it depends on who they've got riding for them next year.......... :fdq

Comparing the Suzuki GP bikes and the Kwak GP bikes, I felt kwak has the better bike but it's down to the rider. Nakano is un-inspiring at best and Randy Depuniet is...just sucks. The Suzuki camp seems to be suffering from bike realibilty, tiyr problem, suspension problem but once they have a track they like and IF everything falls in place,..they'll deliver. With the introduction of the 800 next year and if they still have the same riders and same set up,..I really think they are going to do worse than this year. But news is Nakano is thinking of going to a satelite Honda team (,..maybe the Minolta Honda team). Maybe that's a good thing.

du Puniet 5th in official practice in Hareth, 1.5 sec slower than Rossi.
at least they got a chance this year
