You gotta wonder, is this an incremental addition or will it come at the expense of an existing race: MotoGP: Finland to return to the calendar in 2018 | MCN
Good for Finnish fans!

My naked twin can overheat a bit in traffic on hot days but nothing like the sportbikes.

I think it's the combination of both. The heat from the rear cylinder/exhaust routing is right between your legs. The fairings seem to duct the heat in the same place when going slow or when the rad fans turn on. Panigales are unbearably hot unless your going 120+.

Skully Closes Its Doors and Ceases Operations
Zero real tech. No projection, just a small screen based hud. Poorly made helmet (including shell design) from a lower-end Chinese OEM. Electronics not designed for mass production. Programming done by contractors in India. Unable to meet ECE ratings. Didn't even get DOT. What the fuck were these guys doing?

bananana - honestly, riders deserved better than what Skully was going to deliver. I feel terrible for those that lost money though.

Baby GSX-R250 on the way? Possibly: http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...217;s-gsx-r250
I love these entry-level sportbikes. While I know they are really intended for developing/emerging markets, I still love seeing them on the road here (RC390, etc.).

Too aggressive as a daily street bike.

| Honda OFFICIAL comment: CBR600 is DEAD (for now) and there's NO Hornet 800 on the way! - MoreBikes
Fuck, what am I going to do now if this is the trend going forward? I still want a 600/750 class bike but with manufacturers not investing in them for the foreseeable future, I'm stuck in the past with older models. I really don't need a 1000cc bike because... well I just don't. The other day I was going on hwy 1 and I found myself going 180 before I realized it. So on a 1L bike it would have been faster and I just know it'll get me into a lot of trouble. It sucks that I'm in the minority now. I want a bike with the latest technology (light weight frame design, fresh fairing design, TC, ABS, and so on) but without the 1L engine.
/ rant over

| First photos of new Honda Fireblade
I like the current CBR1000RR, but technologically it really pales compared to its current competition (even the SP version).

unless the Supersport S' cluster is buried deep, the handlebars look fairly high... in which case I'd rather go back to an 848, or 899. I am a sucker for white bikes though.
