What do we see from Honda and Bautista on the WorldSBK scene?

Honda plans to unveil the WorldSBK bike on 21st February in Tokyo. And we will see the new CBR1000RR-R in its official colors.

Last Month

Now in the last month, we have seen Bautista struggling with the new Blade.

However, Bautista has not spent enough time with his new bike and, as of now, is seen struggling. 

Evident at the end of the Portimao Tests when he said to reporters, “Now it’s up to Honda to work in Japan to get me what I requested for Phillip Island.” 

However, now we do see a decisive stance from Alvaro Bautista. Last year with Ducati, Bautista had an opportunity. To ride the bike from the initial go, and that made up more comfortable with the Ducati.

Quotes

Talking to our Spanish friends  MotoSan he said, “Last year I felt more comfortable from the beginning. So, after a lifetime running with a V4, when you take the 4 online, the first impression is a bit strange.

Well, from the above, what it shows us Alvaro is talking about the .New structure of Honda Blade that comes with V4 and inline, which he is not used to.

He further said, ” Yes, it is true that last year the motorcycle entered me like a glove, but this year we have to work harder. The project was not so, so new, and this year. It costs us a little more to start.

Further, Alvaro Bautista went to add on about. Honda engineers are working day and night to make the new Blade more comfortable for him.

Again, however, it will be essential to see how the Bautista .And Blade’s relationship will be in the long term?
