Also well done Johnny Rea on his very long overdue superbike champion title.

An extremely talented rider that truly deserves the title.

I actually think there may be a few surprises about any new sportsbikes next year as Euro 4 means they will have to be toned down a little.

Emissions and noise tests are much tougher than Euro 3 and noise tests includes mechanical noise testing of the engine too.

In terms of loud and raucous bikes, i suspect next years may be the last...and with VW being caught out by fixing their cars to pass the legal requirements only whilst being tested and not whilst in use, Governments will only get tougher on their testing.

Probably. :D

I'm most likely going to wait until around this time next year before making any decisions.
