New season. New hope. New speed?
At least a new team member: Roberto (#146, Honda Fireblade). So the maintenance-bitch (read “Ducati”) got company in the 750-class by an old geisha.
Quite heavily modified and just squeezing into the 750-class (same as old superbike where 4-cyl 750 cc and 2-cyl 1000cc bikes were fighting it out) the Honda with her 4-cyl 929 cc power plant was somewhat of an odd child.

At least that’s how they look before you put them in gravel and grass… *eherm* Season was pretty successful given certain constraints. A barely healed and ex-titanium shoulder to mention one.
We campaigned Italy, Czech Rep and Germany.
