its long and complex! Bayliss did v well on the Duc in motoGP, at least in his 1st year. in the 2nd year the bike was a dog, with caparossi also having big issues with it. after the phillip island round Bayliss finally managed to convince them to try a suspension fork hed been wanting all year but they had denied and he wound up somthing liek a second and a half faster on the new fork. unfortunatley that was the end of his time at Duc.

when he went to Honda, he didnt like somthing to do with the clutch. i think in the honda they dont use it as much, or they use it more. cant remember. either way he had a hard time getting used to it. couple that with the 16 inch front wheel that cmae in and he was way out of his depth. hard to ride a bike on the limit when you dont have confidence in the front end.

in superbikes hes way back on top, just killing everyone. and so he should. Superbikes is full of guys who never made the big leage and fallen stars of MotoGP. theres a lot of difference in technology between the 2 as well, 1 being a full on prototype, the other based on a production chassis. On the other hand, Alex Barros is having a bit of a hard time getting his head around the Honda superbike hes on, so it works both ways.
