Factory Release Date?
There was a Factory 300 Beta, on show new at the Scott yesterday from Acklams Beta - not sure if it was a 2016, because I didn't ask But I'm guessing it maybe was, somebody else who saw it may be able to confirm whether it was a 2016 Factory 300?

Top Rider Salaries
Let's work it backwards Hamilton as World F1 champion is worth about £32 million per season from Mercedes for the next 3 years So take that back to Rossi who took a pay cut from $22million per season to return to Yamaha to say $15 million or £10 million So Rossi is the highest paid bike racer @ possibly at least £10 million per season So Toni Bou on £1 million per season for unopposed world championships for Honda is certainly possible

For Better Or Worse?
Why ? Surely if you can meter fuel more accurately for a more precise throttle response & also avoid/minimise the likelihood of fuel spillage (leaky carbs) into the environment (appease the greens) then that is a good thing Is it not?
