I wish I could take credit. Its our CEan-MayurPathak who got in touch with Kawasaki Motor team for us.

All said, this is one great opportunity that we all have. Where else would you get a chance to get your questions answered from the people who actually bring you the super-biking!

I've few questions too. I'll post them shortly.

My question to the team is :- As a professional racing team what measures do you take to win a race? I mean all the home work about the other team, the circuit etc. What do you do keep yourself 2 steps ahead of everyone before the race starts?

[raj87verma88]

My next question :- This may sound stupid but i always wanted to ask this question. There are many professional racing teams in the GP that have a lot of experience, but i have seen that sometimes one team completely dominates the season. What are the reasons of this? The other teams are not fools. What is the factor that influences this dominance the most, is it the driver, the engineers, the support crew etc. Everyone is important i know but what is the most important?

What strategies will their team be using to assist Team Kawasaki in improving in manufactures points in moto gp this season?

What developments does Mr. Kaneko see working into production motorcycles in the next 5-10 years? Does he invision traction control on production machines?

(and thank you to MayurPathak!)

Lol, you beat me to that response!

[raj87verma88]

Tell us about the New ZX-10R? What are the major changes from the 2003 and 2005 models?

[raj87verma88]

With ZX-R10 Kawasaki had expectations to win the best superbike prize(as read in some auto magazines). The 2003 model was beaten by Suzuki's GSX-R1000 and in 2005 Honda Fireblade was leading the pack. What are the expectations of Honda from the 2008 model? What were the challenges faced to upgrade a superbike to even higher standards?

[gohm]

For those who may not know, please discuss the technical diferential details between moto gp racing bikes and superbike/supersport bikes?

How did you get involved with moto gp racing?

[raj87verma88]

Is it that Gohm and me are the only persons on the whole forum who have questions for the people at Kawasaki?? Come on guys, show some enthusiasm, i know many here are bike freaks.

Unfortunately, that's the sad story. We didn't receive good response to our "Ask questions to CTO of Wikipedia" thread either
