A welcome sight.
Castrol Honda returns to World Superbike

 

[whitw wings]

YES!

Good to see Castrol jumping back in. I think that Rea is going to be one of the men to beat this year and he is not afraid to push. It will also be interesting to see how Xaus will go on the Honda as I have always been a fan, even though he does stupid shit sometimes. Very few try harder than Ruben.

Looks like a bike Edwards should be on.
This will be a tough team to beat.
I hope the parts bin isn't eXausted!

It does look good. Two Questions: when Aaron Slight raced in WSB, was his bike in Castrol livery? (And was it a V-Four?) I could look it up but someone here will know for sure.

Yes and yes.

It stinks that they ever left. They could have been on many winning machines over the last 7(?) years.

Castrol came on board with Polen and Slight. First year of the RC45. Slight was poached from a Kawasaki team and Polen was bought away from Ducati.

indeed

Nice livery on a HEINOUS bike. One of the ugliest out there IMO. But love that throwback Castrol livery.:rockon

 

[Busy Little Shop]

All reeeeeeeeeeet!!! I have plans to replicate a set of Castrol Honda leathers like
the ones John Kocinski used to win the 1997 World Championship...

 

[soslow]

Would Honda only do a road replica if it wins the championship? Or would they do it regardless?

they will do neither

 

[mattmansell]

Why? You don't think Rea is capable of winning a title? Towards the end of the season, before he hurt himself he was the fastest guy in the series.

they will do neither

There was a Hannspree Replica made, wasn't there?

There was indeed! The 2008 CBR600RR.
