Hayden's loyalty is misplaced

Hayden's decision to stay with MotoGP Honda is becoming more
mystifying each week. Honda hanging onto a V5 with an 800cc engine is
one reason, the other 4 cylinder engines have lower frictional losses,
I think that a Honda race win will be a rarity this year and least of
all from Hayden. The V3 motor that was proposed some months back would
have made for a better compromise. With the smaller machines favouring
"schoolboy" racers (Hayden isn't a big rider, its a small bike) the
next mystery is why Hayden has bothered to stay in MotoGP and not gone
to big cubes WSB.

 

I guess being a Hayden-fanboy / JIS-theorist depends largely on being
misinformed.

Honda's 800 is a V4.
