For a 10% difference, I'd stick with Yammie. With the exposure and sponsorships I'd be willing to bet he could stay and still come out ahead.

the ape at least has kept its problems to superpole and qualification.

front end stability issues mostly (i think) but if you think about it ben is quite a bit taller than max, might not be as much of an issue for him since im sure he'd have more mass over the front wheel. my guess anyway. if this doesnt happen i wouldnt be at all surprised to see them snatch up johnny rea. kid has really been coming into his own in the last few races. def expecting big things out of him at donnington

Yea no offense against Biaggi but he said the M1 was a piece of crap and Valentino won a MotoGp championship on it the next year... Maybe the right man in the saddle might make a difference....

Yea this is a TOTALLY different bike from when Biaggi rode it, so I was smart enough not to try and compare it to the bike Max rode. On the other hand, Colin Edwards did ride the same bike so...

Yeah I know.

I'm just sick of hearing: "Only this rider can ride this bike"

Only Pedrosa can ride the Honda, only Stoner can ride the Ducati, only Rossi can ride the Yamaha, etc.
