I didn't see anyone post this here yet, so I'm either really surprised or not looking hard enough. The weekend before, Capirossi and Rossi tested their respected 800cc prototypes for the 2007 season. That's a harsh, but sweet sound from those engines. There's also some feedback Rossi shared later.

Wow they sound nice

Hey, I don't have speakers.  What do they say about the bikes.  Do they just hate them?

Quite the opposite. Sounds like these guys are going to absolutely love them, especially the "veteran" riders like Rossi. He's been known to take a jab or two at the 990cc bikes, saying they're just too easy to ride fast with all that power. With the new 800cc bikes carrying less power, the riders are going to have to fight to get those things through and out the corners quickly now. More tire smoke around the turns like the older 500cc class maybe? Next year is going to be fun to watch for sure!
