And blew up two of them. Apparently there were six bikes and the guy blew two of the motors. This is very disturbing. I have never heard of a Japanese bike blowing its engine at a press intro. I should note that I have an S4 which heretofore has been very reliable, i.e. I have no axe to grind. Either way, this is not a good thing to read.

That is very disturbing news....I've heard of wadded up Jap bikes for press intro's....I've even heard of Jap bikes intentionally being drained of oil and trying to blow up.....and nothing happens. Could this spell the end of the Daytona 650?
