This was on display at the Daytona International Speedway last week into this weekend, the man guarding it told me that it is the bike Hayden rode in tests at lagun seca!! I was able to touch and admire.... i had to laugh, Honda would have you believe that the 1000rr and the RC212v are similar. they are about as similar as Dale Earnhart JR's Monte carlo and the one you buy for $25,000 at your local chevy dealership.

Sorry for the bad Pic it was taken with a camera phone.

With the changes to the new CBR 600RR, and the rework of Honda’s GP bikes. I would expect big changes when they rework the 1000RR next rev. I bet it comes in with a much better power to weight ratio, among other changes. I wouldn’t comment on gas mileage however. (Joke) Somebody e..fed up?

Actually f you look on AMA superbike.com there was stilll fuel in the tanks. Strangely enough they are saying that all of the fuel pumps failed in the same lap .. HA HA weird!

That was such a shame! I think Duhamel was a player in that race. Heads up 2007 600RR owners, look out for a fuel pump service bulletin. (Just sayin!)

Word on the street now is that the new MR10 fuel ate through the seals on the fuel pumps, causing the failure. Who knows?
