Kawasaki to withdraw from MotoGP?

What? Really? Why?

Kawasaki to announce their withdrawal from MotoGP on the 5th January next week. The reason is not yet clear, I think maybe they decided when Hopkins bikes loose it's chain on the Le Mans. Hehehe... Just kidding. As most of people commented, it's due because of the cost and financial. I was shocked to read this news. Kawasaki's withdrawal will be the fourth time a Japanese manufacturer has pulled out of a major motorsport category in recent weeks. Honda announced in early December that it was quitting Formula One, while Subaru and Suzuki confirmed later in the month that they were stopping their programmes in the World Rally Championship. This is a slap to MotoGP. Lets wait and see what Kawa will announce on this 5th. Source.
