Hopo is to move to Kawasaki for the 2008 season. Looks like green is his colour! Green bike, leathers... lining his pockets.

Credit were it's due though, the Kwaks have been showing strong signs of improvment. Look at the first few laps of Le Man. 2 new (I say new... new to the front) riders headed the race until the weather caused their demise. One was a Honda (I think!) and the other, the Kwak of de Puniet. You could argue that he's French and it was his home curcuit, but it was still a grea performance from the Factory Kawasaki team all round.

2007 is shaping up to be a rollercoaster with Stoner going to Ducati and leading the championship, Haydon and Honda starting to loose grip of the front page and Edwards' future looks bleak if he carries on the way he's going.

2008 might be just as interesting. With the ever developing Kwaks with a top flight rider in Hoppo, could we see the Factory Honda team running dramatically behind? Pedrosa is doing his best but it's not enough. Not a single win for Honda this year, and to see them on the Podium is rare. Are we seeing a fall from grace or a blip in Honda that is ironing itself out?

Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer ... in gold! 

Ride safe, and look out for the Rainbow of Death!
