F1, trickle-down, etc.

Amen to that.  I have said for years & years now, if you really want to see
where "automotive" technology is, look to the motorcycles, THEY have
technology.

The neat thing about Honda is that their racing guys end up getting promoted
to high positions within the company, where they can really do some good.
For some odd reason, racing engineers seem to have a positive effect on a
company's product - who would have ever guessed such a thing?

I can't imagine what goes on in Honda's race shop.  Just seeing some of the
stuff that they turned out for bike racing makes one really wonder what
their "top secret" projects look like.  And then, they turn around and find
a way to put all that gee-whiz stuff into production.  Simply amazing.

I just can't wait for the four-stroke GP bikes.  There's so much technology
development that's on hold because of regulations in other racing series,
and I think it's going to get a chance to shine in the next few years.  That
is, if anyone can actually bully a 300 HP 320 lb bike around the track.
