    Thank you Yamaha for anteing up the dough for Laguna... now if you'd just build
    Rossi a V4... all will be well in bikedom...

    Why? He seems to be beating all the V5s as it is on his inline 4!

    I'm pretty happy with my inline 4, Rossi seems to be doing great on his,
    and isn't that just what shows his still, and casts it into such clear
    relief against the backdrop of V5 riders who can't beat him.
    It only makes Rossi look better, so why should he switch?

    He'll probably end up switching to Ducati to really rub it in.

    Only Rossi is able to win championships on the old I4... no one else can stay on
    them long enough to build points... so Rossi deserves the V4 advantage... you
    can see for yourself Rossi is working too hard for his wins... besides the more
    manufactures switch to V4s in MotoGp the sooner you may be able to buy a V4
    sportbike at your dealer... you don't want to be stuck on cheap I4s all your
    life now do you???

    Granted but you'd like it better if it where a V4...

    Rossi seems to be doing great on his,
    When Rossi first tested the M1 last year it was typical peaky I4... Rossi asked
    Yamaha to make power like the V5... they rephased the crank shaft and produced
    the first big bang I4 hence the done sound... why wouldn't Yamaha go all the way
    and be start drafting a V4 replacement to give Rossi a lower work load???

    I'd love to see Rossi beat Honda's V5 with Ducati's V4... in fact I'm looking at
    a Ducati V4 Desmosedeici model on my desk and a Desmosedici V4 hat...
