Honda commented that MM could leave before his contract ends if he wanted too, talk was he may goo to KTM but with his lack of development skills would they have the budget for all the repairs he may cost them.

Doubt it, the vapour trail would see your Ducati electrics failing aaand shedding its paint in no time.

What’s the standing 1/4 of a mile 7.6 seconds, must have warmed the tyres up to get that steam power down and that time lol
Top end 180mph, could pass that on my back wheel on the Ducati lol 
You have to love people who like to tinker, crackers

There are some stupidly fast electric cars out there, my god 
Saw a chap has just taken the land speed record with a steam powered motorbike (I kid you not)! Built in his garage and it looks bloody good. (To me)
here
Edit, said garage in another tabloid, obv not by this link.

WSB on Sunday for me, some great racing and JR in the mix and after the last race TR rides straight past me at the foggy esses on the front wheel and then stops it mid air, got a great picture ✊
Just read, Tom Sykes had a massive high side at the Coppice in the last race, red flagged it, took Rinaldi out too, sadly, says 10 broken ribs and some other damage, that’s him done I guess, dangerous game when it all goes wrong

Agreed but sadly the future is electric and even Ferrari have hybrid road cars now that out perform their petrol cars.

How could anyone be proud of owning a electric vehicle 100%
Hairdryers 
For me a bike is, what it looks like, what it sounds like and what it goes like! 
Long live petrol

I think unless they can get an electric commuter model
You had to use that word didn't you  doing my best 'spit the dog' impression, aka a Carragher to us ex Mancs
Oh, you've started me off......How could anyone be proud of owning a electric vehicle, the claim of saving the planet while paying for companies to employ modern day slaves mining Nickel on 30p a hour (if they're lucky) some as young as 6...but if you were part of the slave trade from the 1800's your pure evil and any modern descendants must pay retributions...hypocrisy.
Or mining Cobalt from deep sea areas that haven't even been explored yet, where their attention was drawn by crustaceans (unknow to science) that decorated their bodies with the bright blue stuff.
The day GP goes electric will be the day I switch off, as have most reading this

Asia is a massive market and honda are being pushed further down the sales leader leader every year and I think unless they can get an electric commuter model to compete with the Chinese they will slip further behind.

I cant see monies affecting Honda too much, I would imagine it pales into insignificance compared to worldwide moped sales/revenue 
Has the U.k market changed a lot since the mid O's? It was nearly all Asian back then, Ducs were expensive to service...and the intervals
I'd love to see BMW and Kwakkers in the mix, naturally Suzis back too.
I'm not sure where the GP is going tbh. There clearly aren't enough manufacturers to make it a full field, the answer, concessions and satellite teams.....hmmm.
Quite frankly I don't care who finishes past say 6th unless its a tight field.
Is GP getting above its station, prohibitively too expensive?
I think GP would be more interesting if the bikes were the same base with tweaks and riders making the difference.
To that end the Mrs said it'd be interesting if there was a race where all the bikes were the same, rotated through manufacturers/satellites per race and it was the riders who made the difference.
