thoughts motogp's 990 formula...

<de-lurk>

....i never thought i'd say it, but i love the big 4-stroke engines.
even more than the 500s. the 990s sound so...ugly. it's beautiful.

intellectually i really appreciate what the 500s were, but there just
isnt the same raucous, thunderous bark you get w/ the 990s. i hope
they dont lose that w/ the 800s.

when you hear the 990s rev...they sound like some sort of primitive,
primordial beast.

sublime.

I like the sound of the Kawasaki the most.
It has some magical resonance that seems to bounce my internal organs
around when it gets on the throttle. I remember standing at laguna turn
3 and watching a practice. That Kawi rocked!

2nd best is the Duc.

i like 'em to.

i think the kawis have the shortest pipes...so you're hearing the
closest thing to the raw combusion coming out of the valves!
