Wow... moving to Japan... what part???

Those race inspired 250s 2 strokes like the NSR TZ RG and the 400s 4 strokes
like NC35 CBR come to mind...

Thanks Gambler... That's twice today that I enjoyed the distinctive
syncopated beat of a race bread V4...

Default Nakano pairs with Max

Nakano to WSBK with Aprilia. | WSBK News | Crash.Net

Max and Nakano will be a formidiable pair. Once the they get the Aprilia developed to a competitive level, watch out.

Yeah that's gonna be freakin' awesome. I've grown to like Biaggi (did I just say that?) and I've always rooted for Nakano, and having the pair of them on the new V4 Aprilia is just sexy..

Can't wait to see what they make out of it!!!

The season may shape up to look different at the end than the beginning.

At first you know that Honda, Ducati, and Suzuki will do well, but by the end of the year you will also likely have Aprilia, Yamaha, and BMW near the front too.
