"Currently the Honda is not a particularly user friendly bike" ........................... fair enough, perhaps.

But then, what is the description of a shit bike?

One that get really poor results on Sunday when it matters.
Don't forget even the riders at the back of the pack are amongst the worlds best riders and some if not most are world champions in their own right.

"One that get really poor results on Sunday when it matters."

Which would be the Honda right now, not so? ...........................

[Cracker]

Or, to put it another way ............ MM makes a shit bike look good and the others make good bikes look shit.

How much is really built around him and his riding style?  And why cant Honda built the second bike around the no2’s riding style? So name the parts that’s built around his riding style?

They can and in the past often did.  These days they seem to be against that.  We saw the same with Yamaha a few years ago.

Parts:  Swing arm.  Suspension. Brakes. Frame rigidity and a longish list more.

A bike, that with all the modern technology available today, cannot be adapted to suit different riders.

No, the bike is shit for others. But it is a bespoke design en build specifically for MM. So for him it is the best bike and his results mostly show that.
The fact that you have to ride the tits off the thing and constantly push the envelope is another discussion, but still good for us and the sport as a show.

For sure 

Based on results I'd own a Jap bike and speak Spanish or Italian .................... but I don't.

I ride a KTM and speak South African ............................ Just like my brand new hero. AND he doesn't have a squeaky voice ......................

A video I watched last night on which looks at the difference between an F1 car and a MotoGP bike at Mugello (now that F1 cars have raced at Mugello). I really only watch F1 highlight stuff on YouTube and I didn't think the difference was that great. 4 seconds faster in just one corner  .

No surprise really because of all the down force and having 4 wheels and brakes. I actually ended up on a Supersport channel on Saturday and watched a little bit of F1 practice. I have not watched F1 in about ten years and the first thing I noticed is just how quick they were around corners almost unreal !! But it's still boring and the cars sound worse then ever before although they now most likely make more power than before ? Give me Senna in a manual V12 but then I also like the T7 

[Kamanya]

F1 drivers regularly experience up to 5g's as a result of the grip the cars generate.

Just unbelievable!

[bud500]

Not to mention going from 0-200 in just over 4 sec.
But yes, braking and cornering is where the big gains are made.

Chili has been diagnosed with Parkinsons....

[mox]

4 tekkies, 4 anchors and a whole load of down-force, different center of gravity ..... what could one expect?

Even though I preferred the 80's and 90's in F1 it is still valuable to me but I still prefer motorcycle racing

I have some F1 fan friends who used to tel mehow incredible a F1 car is to take off 30 seconds on a bike's lap.

I tell them that they should fit 4 motorcycle tyres to the F1 car, it will still have double the rubber of the bike, but the bike will smoke it silly.
