Eek. Unretirements seldom work well, and those toe-in-the-water wildcard exercises always make me uneasy. But the bloke is utterly incredible on a racebike, so wish him all the best.
Didn't realise he was so out-of-kilter with Honda, but it all adds up. Intriguing.... 8)

Agreed on all counts.

Do they still ride brutal real mens 500cc two strokes??? ::) ::) ::) ;)

I find it amusing (and incredible) that the only blokes that have been able to put the "Red Bikes" into the pointy end every time they ride them, are 2 Aussies!

Every one else whinges about how difficult they are to ride.

It'd be great to see CS27 back and on a factory Red bike.

The last of the 500cc 2 strokes were not that brutal.  The big bang motor had smoothed them out and the current electronics would help too.  Any of the riders who raced 250 2 strokes would be fine.

What would b better is the 400cc 2 stroke (Aprilla) against the 800s.

Another version might be alright, the Aprilia 400 was a right feck up. Was just an over bored 250 instead of a proper 68 x68.5 bore and stroke like the NSR500V. Witteveen wasted millions on that.
