Basically what I'm saying, in my opinion, is that Marquez rides like a guy who doesn't believe he'll hurt himself if he makes a mistake... He's reckless and very much riding his luck in that way.

You could be right, but in any case it has paid off for him so far, at least for the last two years. Maybe he has finally found the absolute limit to his craziness that will yield him results. Will he tone it down from here, considering his injury? We'll find out this weekend. Can't wait

If Marquez could ride a Classic 500cc GP bike(which I doubt) to the same standard he rides these modern MotoGP micky mouse bikes then I have to agree with you Max. But I guess we'll never find that out because the factories will never let these guys race each other in a Classic GP500 race, even if it was only a one off exhibition race for the fans. 

Don't get me wrong.... I think Marquez is a rare "modern" talent. I just think he still needs to temper that talent before he shows his true potential to become one of the all time greats like Rossi has already proved himself to be. But he can never be regarded as good a rider as Rossi is simply because Rossi has 9 world titles through both 2 stroke and 4 stroke era's; Marquez will never be able to surpass that achievement.  Rossi is probably the greatest Motorcycle Grand Prix rider there has ever been and has the record to prove it. 

Good point. Rossi has 500cc, 800cc, 990cc under his belt not to mention riding for Honda, Yamaha and Ducati in the modern era.

I don't think his rookie championship and then defending it with 10 straight wins can be called 'luck' in any form whatsoever. He's on the limit every race weekend. Sure, that means that sooner or later something will happen, and it did in Argentina. But that's how he rides. Granted, he should have known that Rossi would swing out on the throttle. Too aggressive that time. And as the commentators said last week, Marquez has been involved in a few of those incidents in the premier class the other way around (with Marquez 'capitalising' you could say). Jerez 2013, Aragon 2013, and recently taking out Bautista in Qatar.

That qualifying performance in Texas was absolutely amazing. He's arguably the best rider on the grid at the moment. He has room for improvement, but you can't discount his accomplishments so far and attribute them to luck.

Ok I will, thank you for the response.

Anyone??

I am using the same key to play the full version as I was trying to register my key, otherwise I could not play, correct? So why is it not working? Please help. I am willing to buy a whole other key because this game is awesome and I would love to support it, but I want to know if I can get this working first.

I try to register now, though I says 'Key already used'.

I still can't believe the start to this season. SO fantastic to see Rossi fighting for podiums and victory every race, as well as Dovi and Iannone. Won some money on the Qatar race too Argentina GP was great.

Is what happens when I click 'World' to retrieve server list for online play. I am running the full version but recently got a new computer so I think that might have something to do with it. I entered my registration key in the beginning and that worked fine, allowed me the full version, but with online it says please register? Is it because of my in-game profile being unnamedProfile? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Yes, the keyboard is not very good. I have an xbox 360 controller, so I'll definitely look into getting that set up.

I have never played a motorbike racing game before. In the past, I never considered downloading GP Bikes because I always thought my computer would be too slow to run it well, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I can run it smoothly at 1280x720 with all visual settings low or off (and it still looks great to me). I have been playing the demo since noon, it is now past midnight. I am very impressed with this game and I do intend on buying the game in the near future.

My best time at Victoria with that little pocket rocket is 2:01:55 (I only ran off track once!) and that was with all of the assists, so obviously I am a total noob. The bikes feel so FAST and powerful, I can only imagine what a MotoGP bike feels like.

I have only a keyboard to use as controller, so what is the best controls setup? Which do you like? I want to make the most out of what I have. Thanks in advance for your responses and once again I will say I am very impressed with this game. Love it, even!
