SBK - Yamaha leaves, enters KTM! There is a growing market alive Superbike for the 2012 season. After leaving the Yamaha factory team, it was thought that Yamaha would have taken a similar path to that of Ducati, or to deploy a private team with bikes. In fact, shortly after the announcement of the withdrawal of Yamaha, started negotiations with various teams: The team of ParkinGo Rovelli, the Russian team Yarnich Motorsport, the Spanish-South African consortium has always wanted to remain anonymous and a German team. The deal seemed to end with the arrival of Yarnich Motorsport, but instead, in these last days, we heard more voices and news of the confirmation of this agreement, the most plausible hypothesis suggests that this agreement will be skipped and is probably so. So, if things stay that way, next year we will not see much as a Yamaha R1 on the track, a great loss to the World Superbike has been puzzled even after the official announcement of the withdrawal of the team. Loss that could still be partially restored in the entrance of the Austrian manufacturer KTM superbike that after the failure of the road sector of the brand, could seriously decide to stake everything on the production-based series, participating in half (or more) rounds of the Superbike World Championship 2012 . The announcement of an investment is expected in the coming days, when there will be a press conference the leadership of the Austrian brand, which for many years took part in the European Championships and World 125cc Superstock 600.
