Kawasaki has honoured one of the Black Horse finance team for helping Ninja sales rocket by more than 400%.

Black Horse account manager Billy Bryce was instrumental in driving sales of the ZX-10R and ZX-6R by coaching sales people and helping create information for showrooms.

Just goes to show, you have to produce results, otherwise it is too easy for those in charge to turn the other way.

Hopefully, Dorna’s “crisis meeting” is also talking about their mistake to replace the 250cc class with the 600 cc class, which further reduced manufacture variety. KTM and Aprilia do not have a 600 cc platform so why would they take that class away from KTM and Aprilia?

I hope that pulling out of these premier classes does not have too much of an affect on the new types of racing that are emerging like the Isle Of Man TTXGP; http://www.ttxgp.com/, as this is the future. I think though, that alas it will.

Racing is more fun with more variety. To me Australian touring car racing got boring when the premier class went to rear wheel drive V8s, there are now two manufacturers, and it would be sad to see the same thing happen across the board.

Why not slow down the bikes by bringing back the 500cc class, we have enough technology now that it would still be very fast and maybe it would bring more interest back to the mid sized bikes that are on the show room floor.
