With out getting too far into it, the Duke was a pig for along time and nobody could ride the thing, yes fast as all buggery in a straight line but it went round corners like the QE2 . And its pretty much the same thing now nobody apart from Casey can ride the thing.
I will be very interested to see how Sete goes on it, I hope he does well but there have been some good riders on it and go nowhere. Troy Bayliss comes to mind as of course Melandri who is a bloody good peddler. Is my memory fading or didnt max Biaggi have a ride too?
I would be pissed being told it was the bike that did all the business when clearly its the match of man and machine that won the title.
