    Looks like the new engine and chassis aren't cutting it yet, so Factory Honda is going to go back a generation.... talk about helping out the 5th VFR gen people's cause :mad:


    From crash.net -

    "To try and cure its problems, Hayden and Pedrosa will be given a 2007 machine each to compare against the '08 chassis/'07 engine package - that they had been expecting to start the new season with - when free practice for this weekend's Qatar night race begins on Friday evening.

    ...snip...
    The bike with which Repsol Honda finished last season was then duplicated and given to the satellite teams for this year, while HRC handed Hayden and Pedrosa what has turned out to be a troubled all-new model."
