Personally I feel that anyone that competes at that level is kick ass and anyone who talks shit about them is delusional cuz they themselves aren't there so don't talk shit! |

Talk about being blind to reality. Did you even pay attention to the last 2 races in 06? Pedrosa BLATANTLY wave Nicky through at Valencia, then ADMITTED to holding up the pack behind him. And everyone was like OH ITS OK PEDROSA TOOK NICKY OUT AT ESTORIL SO HE'S ALLOWED TO WAVE HIM BY! Last edited by Nefarious; 07-16-2009 at 02:00 AM.. | |

| Training Wheels Joined: Feb 2008 From: Spokane, WA I Ride: BMW R80, RC51, VFR 800, FZR 400 | I watched Hayden win at Daytona in 2002. That must have been the year the Honda factory "gave" him his AMA Superbike championship. In any case, he didn't look like a pussy that day. |

I'll type slow... I'm not a huge Nicky Haden fan. However, I didn't see HONDA riding the #26. I didn't see HONDA riding the #69. I didn't see HONDA riding the #46. I saw the rider on top of #69 win a World Championship. Whatever he and Pedrobot worked out, Nicky was the racer in the position to take it all in the end. And Rossi wanted that championship. He was giving NOTHING away. Think about having Rossi grid up near you, with the intention of racing you to the finish. You, racing Rossi, for the world championship while millions watch on TV and 100,000 watch in person. Think about that. That makes ME want to cry. I'm no pussy. Do you remember that Capirossi was taken out of the picture due to injuries while he was running away with the championship? There are lots of ups and downs to a championship. Personnally I would have liked to see #46 cap the years on the 990, but He failed. Nicky didn't. HONDA helped, but they didn't ride the motorcycle. To call him names or accuse him of being less than amazing is ignorant. Go do a track day, mabye two, then watch the GP or WSBK or even front running AMA guys, in person, mabye you will get an understanding of how good those guys are.

| Zone Head Joined: Aug 2006 From: Portland, Or (Bethany) I Ride: 03 636 | Just my .02 This thread has gotten a little out of control. There is NOBODY on this forum that can out ride our bikes. Whether it is Japanese or Italian. The motoGP racers have nothing to do with the bikes we get on the consumer end. Could Rossi win a championship on a Ducati? Probably, could Nicky finish at best 5th on a Yamaha? Possibly. Will you ever be able to ride and keep pace with Nicky? Or the slowest GP rider? Doubtful. Why don't you keep your opinions about the riders to yourself, and out of a thread showing off a sexy new design for a Ducati. If you don't like Ducati, this probably wont change your mind. Maybe this is a method for Ducati to rally Nicky on? You ever think about that? I don't believe anybody here has close enough ties to the top Ducati officials to know why they chose a Nicky themed bike. /rant |

| Zone Head Joined: Sep 2007 From: 2nd star to the right and straight on 'til morning I Ride: on ice at 15F below zero | They chose a Nicky themed bike due to marketablity. Nicky is the ONLY American champion currently racing motorcycles. (Wait for the Yamaha / Spies edition NEXT year) I bet the bike is primarily, if not exclusivley distributed in the US The reason they built it was to sell motorcycles and increase the brand awareness. Thats the only reason. That doesn't mean I can take it when haters tear down a great rider and spew uninformed, 010101, digital vomit on my screen.

| sctnabt Joined: Mar 2006 From: Genesee, Idaho I Ride: '05 Kaw Z750 | There are only 100?, 150? of these going to be sold in America. I'm thinking they would sell decent even with this economy. If I could spend my own money (  ) there would, at the very least (sorry wifey) be an 848 in my garage. Painted like that......maybe--just a bit too flashy for me. That bike looked great on track at Laguna though.Don't understand the hate on Hayden. That guy puts in more hard laps than most riders out there. Read how many practice laps the guy puts in before races and during testing--then call him a pussy. If your gonna pick on Hayden then you might as well say Edwards doesn't belong in MotoGP either. or Toseland.........Capirossi..........Vermeulen..... .....keep going. Who SHOULD really be there? fercryin'outloud.  cj Last edited by cee-jay; 07-16-2009 at 09:49 AM.. |

   Hey DaveR - how about you let me have that as a loaner until my 848 finally gets done?   Jimmie (I actually prefer the Bayliss 1098R myself) | |

| Retired Joined: Mar 2006 From: spokane, wa I Ride: 2006 R6 | The real reason I don't care for Hayden is that his whole career up til this season was for my least favorite manufacturer- Honda. They used him for years and he was too dumb to leave them. |

Who got used again?  Nicky might just be a kid from the ozarks, but don't underestimate his ability to forsee launching a lifelong career in racing/comentating/etc... off of honda's back. Just cuz he's good people, doesn't mean he's ignorant. And as to the OP, again I wish like hell I had 15 large burning a hole in my pocket... I'd rock that sucker. ( but the 848, espitially a limited addition should come with the ohlins / brembos / march wheels, etc... )  | |

athlete? are you fucking serious, there is no such thing as athletics in riding,there is skill, atletics is FOOTBALL,SOCCER ETC, motorcycle racing is like NASCAR and GOLF. none of these should even be put in the same category as REAL. "sports". personally the bike is UGLY as fuck and to sell it for 14k is ridiculous, if you buy this bike you need to go jump off a cliff for having too much money to waste...  BTW: fuck DUCATI...ride HONDA Last edited by NC05600RR; 07-17-2009 at 04:37 AM.. | |

ya seriously... like you can say much you ride a dirt bike and motorcycle racing shouldn't be considered a sport or these guys shouldn't be called athletes, whats so grueling about riding a bike around a track, its not rocket science, its a skill, anyone can do it with enough practice and money with the right mechanics tuning your bike, sometimes it is the bike and not the rider, but a lot of the time its the rider... oh and i DO ride...its a HONDA....H...O...N...D...A for you illiterate and blind old people... and no shrek im no troll you dipshit look at my post count...been here a while....just stating the truth... | |

| Pit Crew Joined: Mar 2008 From: Poulsbo, WA I Ride: Honda, or Suzuki, or Yamaha | Wow! This thread REALLY delivers. Rep to everyone!!! The thing that impresses me most about Nicky this year is that his team is still 100% behind him and think very highly of him in spite of his struggles. Maybe he'll figure the Duc out; maybe he won't; but he is a champion and apparently a damn nice guy to boot. I thought he handled the Honda debacle with class and he's handling his Duc ride with class too. And if anybody thinks that riding a motorcycle at that level is not athletic; you need your friggin' head examined. Really....  |
