Here is his Chance and Kawasaki's TOO! In two weeks is a chance for Matt Mladin's "Big Fish in a Lil Pond Ass" to prove himself on the suzuki in World Superbike as Max will be out when they come to the US. Thats if Suzuki nominates him and he accepts.
In addition to that, Kawasaki has a chance to give Hacking a chance at World Superbike since Tamada's sorry ass is out. He is probably the only one who can put the Kawi in the top five.
What do you guys think?
Yeah I know this is not about the 14, but majority of folks browse the 14 forum. Forgive me I ask.

Kawi hopeful in world superbike???? OK, I realize this is a ZX14 forum.....
Truthfully I hope Kawasaki does good for the sake of us consumers and introducing more competition.
Maybe they'll sell enough new ZX10's to where we'll see more than 2 on the streets of Tampa, or just MAYBE they can even afford to get back into MotoGP and support racing....now I'm fantasizing

Steve she is competing in World Supersport. And I think with enough practice Hacking can get the Kawi canstantly in the top ten with a few top 5s in World superbike.
The bike is there just takes a different unique riding style. Kinda like the DUC in Moto GP. Only stoner has been able to pilot the thing succesfully week in week out.

Jamie Hacking is the man. I couldn't believe that save...... he was on his back with smoking leathers and just got back on the bike. He must be in EXCELLENT shape!

I'd love to see Mladin compete...but I don't see it happening. I think Spies success just proves what kind of rider Mladin is. If Mladin went to WSBK years ago maybe it wouldn't be Bayliss that everyone was so awestruck by.
Jamie did the zx-10 admirally last year and is probably better than any of the WSBK zx-10 riders, but the WSBK competition is stiff and I think it would be a major accomplishment if he could score a top 10. Maybe his 08' bike is sitting around somewhere and they can give it a quick tune up for the Miller round.

I say he has the top ten covered. Willing to bet $100 if kawi lets him ride. Steve are you up for it? Ok Im hurting right now. $50?
And yea Mladin wont take the chance if given to him .................He's a great rider and no doubt he could compete for the podium but weak at heart to me.
I do wish I could ride like him though. I'm not crazy by any means.

Man I'm not up for betting against "top 10" for $50..... thats tough odds I'd be giving up right there ____________
