Suppose that is better than Kawaski, who have been in the series for years and still a mid pack bike!

from what ive read of the cube it was an insanely powerful motor in a subpar chassis with almost no front end feel. Haga crashed it 28 times in one season!

speaking of Haga... wtf was with him in Qatar?! dude didn't ride at all like he normally does... he was patient... and just let max lead in the first race for the longest time... wasn't until Spies got up there did he start trying to get by...

he looked good though... this would be his year... but it's gonna take a lot to stop Spies... 4 races 3 wins... one 16 where he had two offs..
