That 10% bullshit might fly for weekend warriors at chickenlicks raceway, but it doesn't apply at pro level racing. An underpowered or improperly set up bike is a huge disadvantage at the pro level.

This isn't the seventies Bud. Work all you want but in todays world of professional racing if you are riding an underpowered, non handling bike and you aren't going to win.

At Team Suzuki on good battle tested equipment with the best Team Manager in History!! That's where the hell he would be!!!!!
Mike is where he is because of hard work more than natural talent IMO. Whether or not I or anyone agrees with Tony's slave master methods, they are probably the biggest reason he has made it to this level as a racer.

i would think it mattered even more than if anything with the teams allowed to build whatever they wanted for a bike.

The bikes weren't all that great back then (including the works bikes) and rather than a few riders being talented, almost all are very talented today.

As everything else, the sport has progressed into something much different that what it was thirty + years ago.
