BTW, if the BMW really puts out that much oomph, don't you guys think that they would show in WSBK races? Granted the handling might not be there, but with that much power advantage, the Beemers would have shown some serious acceleration and passing at the straights.

I guess I'm pessimistic because I've been disappointed by BMW for too long. Besides, the Aprilia RSV4 is the bike to beat. It has the sexiness, the sauciness, the looks and the handling that BMW can only dream of.
for the first part ill say power isint everything or motogp would be running screamers. For the second part i wholly agree. Aprilia hit it clean out of the park with the rsv4. Im hoping this year it works into a title for them
