aawwwwwwwwwww........

Thats Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They'r great times for the USA kwaka riders

I read somewhere were Hayden was doing a cracker time ,but crashed and is still recovering minor injuries though.
Great times anyhow

ps
Duhamel is a great ,just check his times on a 600, I don't mean because its a Honda I mean he is great rider just great rider.

Cool.

huge gap between 8th and 9th...

Even some of the superstock bikes are going relly well...

Akira Yanagawa (Kaw ZX-10R), 1:43.058, Superbike

I wouldnt have thought 4 seconds off the pace to be that good?

agreed.. But the 2nd half of the field is upto 3.8 seconds behind him..

Lets just hope the move forward and make some improvements.

Without any back ground story who knows if it is just the first outing and how many more, etc, etc. Would be nice to know if they went out the next day and what the times were.

Jamie Hacking has been around for years, a British rider who won both the AMA Supersport & Superstock titles in 2006. Yes he can peddle

Cool. If Akira makes a come back all of my memorabilia might be worth the paper its printed on.

Yeah it would be good, but I think you'll find he's only testing. He was testing the ZX10 for Kawasaki before this years AMA Championship as well, but never raced in it

current ama supersport champ, as stated earlier he has been around for ages. the supersport title he won this year (lets face it - only cause roger was injured ) was his second title.

How much a different are their Supersport racing bikes(USA) compare to ours here in Aust?? ??

Supersport I'm not sure about, but often the Superbikes are actually more factory than WSBK (Different rules obviously as well). A couple of years back when Honda first released the CBR1000RR, and there was no Japanese factory involvement in World Supers, the HRC bikes used in the AMA and BSB were full-factory built in Japan by HRC. They made Vermeulens Ten Kate Blade look Stock Standard
