soon we will see flying MotoGP bikes if those winglets gets much bigger, i am sure at Mugello the ducati will fly at the end of the straight going over the bump! ;D
Leave that shit to f1 and wsbk, where the vehicles look ugly anyway
Talking of F1..... I spent all afternoon Thursday slavering polish on my car and now Red Bull tell me a rough Matte finish has better aerodynamic properties than a smooth shiny surface (makes the air 'cling' to it apparently). WTF! Now I have to sandpaper the car and apply Hammerite finish. ::) 50 years of aerodynamic law in the bin.
thought so, too (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ZO1U4ODHw)
btw, couldn't bring myself to watch the dildo-nose vacuum cleaners, is the new qualy format really as bad as everybody says?
Totally agree with you Vin..... UGLY INDEED!!{Finger down the throat and throwing up}(unfortunately there isn't an emoticon for that action).
Now maybe some may see the sense in being romantic of past delights of the eye. :P ;D
But it's typical FIM behaviour to allow such crap into the sport, same as they've ruined F1 qualifying with their new rules...... They all want stringing up by their balls and left hanging there for a thousand years of misery and hell! >:(
Just another nail in the coffin for MotoGP in my opinion... Bauk, Bauk, BAUK!! >:( :'(
But HEY! I've just had a thought..... Maybe it's HONDA throwing their wait around again! Hehe! ;D
"The truth is out there!"
Edit: Please no one make any bike mods with these UGLY WINGS..... I for one won't use them out of principle and protest. :P
Hawk.
PS: @Vin - F1 Qualy is SO bad now mate.... If they don't change it straight away for the next GP then I can see everyone just not watching the qualifying at all but just the Sunday race event.
Hehe yes see Rolex know the truth! 0.004 sec saved!!
I like the new format cos it gets the bloody cars on the track at the lights going green instead of 50 minutes of sitting in the pits then a last second dash. In the wet it will be even better. And you can watch the 90 seconds tick down knowing someone is out! Its good for that.....what it isn't good for is finding out who is the quickest over one lap. Oh ???
2 things Hawk....
1.The Duke already has wings in this game.
2.

This is what I thought as well so I am quite surprised about the amount of negative feedback.

To be fair, that was not much of a question last season anyway.
Guess I will have to take a look at it next time myself.
Really!? Have I rode the Duke!? I think I have... OMG!!! :o :o :o
Well may someone cut my balls off quick!! ;D 8)
Hawk.
It didn't help when Martin Brundle declared it was bad and went into a sulk about it for a good 5 minutes until Crofty butted in and tried to clear the gloom being cast to the world, with desperation in his voice.
None of the commentators seemed to pick up on the fact there were cars scrambling to get out the second the clock started. He had another good old sulk declaring the season would be a re-run of the last two once the front runners were known. Mind you I felt the same on that point. :(
Having watched it since I was a kid I wrestle each year with whether or not I should watch it still, but I live in this eternal hope cycle and I can't seem to get off.
Favourite comment so far is Bernie Ecclestone saying he doesn't know why people watch it because it's boring hahahaha OMG.
Hey
If it takes wings for a Ducati to win, then Wing away my Italian friends!
;)
I'm honestly not that bothered by them on the Moto GP bikes, but if they start using them on SBK bikes I would be worried and I would have a fit if they started using them aggressively on road bikes (edgy fairings don't count IMO)

Of coures sbk vs motogp style is personal opinion but the wings would definitely fit better on bikes that are designed more aggressively and sharply(?), anyway.

True but the other teams are using them as well, so Ducati's advantage is already shrinking.
Sounds like they are already starting to ban these ugly wings... Woohoo!!! ;D 8) :-*

Soon for MotoGP too I think, I hope.....
I've always said they are dangerous and it seems they are starting to realise what could happen, not only cause of the turbulent wake they are talking about, but if a couple of riders crash due to a coming together then those bloody protruding bread slicers could easily cause serious injury if they hit you at speed! But like always it'll take a rider getting seriously hurt or worse killed before the authorities see sense! F'ing idiots! >:(
To be honest the riders should take the stand and refuse to ride if anyone is using them. Simple and effective solution! :P
Hawk.

...For now but if you read the last paragraphs, it seems very likely that they will get banned due to cost reduction.
Developing aero is insanely expensive.
Why it is so expensive is nuts. A bit of wood and some ducktape will do the same job and easily adjusted.
DD
Those wooden ducks are expensive man! Especially the rich ones hiding in $1000 per minute, wind-tunnels.
Just to bring back this topic, seen the overkill by Honda? 3fucking winglets on each side!!! Get them off the bikes asap! Belongs on airplanes and F1 cars, not on a freaking motorbike! What will be the next? Jet engines so we have lift off too?
