    Rawr!!!

    Exit: although I'm not sure they'll come out swinging, as the rc8 is not shredding everything in its pro circles.

    I'm not sure the RC8 was ever *really* meant to be a serious SBK challenger (for racing purposes). It's just a great, usable superbike.

    They know what it takes to build race engines to compete with Honda. It will be very interesting to follow them as they develop.

    KTM always seems to flake out of commitments pretty quickly, they did it with the US Red Bull Cup, KR MotoGP as Keith posted above, and at least one other time I think.

    just remembered, they backed out of supplying bikes for "The Long Way Round".

    Aprilia is working towards a 2016 entry when significant technical changes in the premier class come into effect.
    Just a couple of weeks ago it was announced they will now enter next year with Alvaro Bautista at the helm to gain experience while continuing to develop the 2016 spec bike.
