    hopefully they are learning from their AMA season this year. Good on 'em... The competition is VERY stout. The new crop of superbikes are just stupid.

    They don't stand a chance. Even the Suzuki privateer team (Team Jordon) is running waaay in front of them. They are starting with a new bike, without the 2, 3 years of development, and they aren't even close on the funding.

    Maybe, if they increase their funding, find someone to make them a decent traction control, hire better riders (Kurtis Roberts???), maybe they might have a chance, but I doubt it, they don't have the resources that the large Jap manufactures have.

    I think like with any new team, there will be growing pains. BUT I applaud them for getting back into the ring. For me, there is a certain amount of respect that comes with buying a bike that the factory actually cares about enough to race & develop.
