so last weekend the 07 MotoGP circuit came to its conclusion and this past tuesday testing on the new 08 bikes began here's my personal favorite since I am a Nicky Hayden fan. The new Honda Repsol...just some minor adjustments, they made the bike a little bigger to suit Hayden better. Can't wait to see what happens next year!

and here is the link to an article about the testing...Pedrosa and Hayden debut 2008 RC212V - Yahoo! Eurosport UK

yes...there still unsure of the exhaust design they want to use...since honda went away from undertail exhausts this year its still a toss up

i love these motogp bikes they are full of innovation!

if they haven't changed the engine design drastically you'll find this engine is a V5 (yes i said 5, its an odd number..wanna fight about it

)

and on the previous Honda RC211V the single undertail exhaust makes a complete 360 bend before it goes to the muffler. i have a model of the bike but i can't find it, its pretty wild exhaust system, i think it had two or three more exhaust exits that were on the side(s).

i could spend all day looking at one, now if i just had the chance....i wonder if they have one in that motorcycle museum in Birmingham, AL!?!?!
