http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=41fde594658e35 127987326dd&id=3a4f2d454e&e Bone stock and within 3 seconds (an admitted virtual eternity)of the WSBK EBRs. Its interesting that bikes that essentially are EVO spec are nowhere close to WSBK factory EVO times and the Superstock 1000 times are in the 1:35s... makes you wonder exactly the meaning of stock is, is. Go EBR! |

How did a Monster 696 finish 9th???? |

I didn't realize that there was another 1190 in there, and a couple of HyperMotard's. Sounds like a really fun collection of bikes to watch race! |

Not only sounds like a fun race to watch but my unending admiration goes out to that rider, in 9th, if in fact that was really a Monster 696. That's akin to matching a KIA Sephia with an Porsche 911 Turbo. |

>>>>Sometimes it's not the arrow. I'm on board with that . . . but the Ducati 696 is, at least in NYC, a "girl's or kids starter bike". Don't get me wrong, I love 'em . . simple and easy with their single front rotor and their 80HP (and that sounds hugely over stated) . . . . . taking on a 185hp world class Superbike is pretty bold. I'm sure if I were on the EBR and Danny Eslick was on the Ducati . . . he'd lap me. I doubt that level of disparity . . . i.e. all the archers in this game are at least in the same league . . . .in this series. It appears I am proved, once again, wrong. |

If Royce Rowe on a 696 is beating decent riders on S1000RRs, an 1199, and an EBR he needs to get signed immediately! There must be more to that story. |

>>>There must be more to that story. Arrows and Indian analogies aside . . . there's a bit of a "tricycle vs. a Formula 1" car thing happening here. . . . Something . . . as they say . . doesn't smell write. Perhaps just a typo. |
