talking about it...have you noticed the bike bmw is going to introduce in WSB next year....it has forks! (i wonder why?)

Because they're building a bike from scratch, and don't want to add the variable of a new suspension system. Parker's doing the converse: building a new front end from scratch, without adding the variable of a new bike.
and they have Xaus to ride it too...!
So they'll have plenty of opportunity to make replacement bodywork!
