Abraham chooses Honda

Czech motorcycle racer Karel Abraham peresyadet on a motorcycle Honda. Previously, he served on the Ducati, and now finishes the season this year on the Aprilia.

Karel Abraham Sr., the father of the motorcycle racer and team owner Cardion AB Racing, said the contract with HRC, signed after the stage Moto GP at Laguna Seca: "Accept the decision was quite difficult. In 2012, the cooperation with Ducati did not produce significant results, but with Aprilia Racing Technology we have achieved much more. Aprilia was only "for" the continuation of cooperation, but we wanted one thing: a competitive bike. We considered four candidates: Aprilia, Yamaha M1, the production prototype Honda, or again Ducati ».

Continuing to lead the team of Marco Grana, "Proposal Honda was very tempting, and we have signed a preliminary agreement. But we want to continue to work with our suppliers, and a prototype of Honda may be equipped with a suspension Öhlins (instead of Showa) and brakes Brembo (instead of Nissin) ».

And that's what he thinks about himself Karel Abraham Jr.: «Honda - a good choice for me, as well as for my team. And I hope that this time it will be correct. Almost all of his racing career, I went to the Italian-made motorcycles, and I want to believe that this time we made the right decision. I'm a little sad to part with Aprilia - their bike is very, very good, at least - better Ducati. But, unfortunately, the bike Aprilia Racing Technology is unlikely to make a real competition prototypes, although Aprilia motorcycle is the best among the cars CRT ».
