We have made huge progress, to think we only began the development of the motor late last year... I mean there was not even an engine until October of 2002, so it's a real challenge. Our plan was to try and get to the first GP, if possible, and we did that. We like seeing good challenges, and the GPs are the best place to develop the bike. We can't develop in America because of their production rules." 96 APRIL 16. 2003' cue I e n e _ s eN
