Kawasaki `screamer´ engine development continues slowly

When pressed on whether he foresees the engine becoming competitive enough to use in races, Jacque answered, `Top end power is very good, and we are working on the speed.

There are positives and negatives and we just keep trying new things. It is hard to say if we will see it in the near future, we will just stick to the test plan and see what we find.´ motogp.com

Kawasaki at Jerez with new signing John Hopkins and team-mate Anthony West

"We're also benefiting from the arrival of John Hopkins. His feedback has been extremely accurate and we now have a clear direction for our development engineers. That he's jumped on our Ninja ZX-RR and declared the bike only in need of some refinement, and no fundamental changes, means that Kawasaki's race engineers will be able to focus completely on addressing the areas for improvement that he's identified. The Anglo-American is making steady progress at adapting the ZX-RR to his requirements - with a new frame, clutch parts and engine components amongst numerous changes which have assisted the 24-year-old in his task. uk.eurosport.yahoo.com
