Colin's motivation is very high to beat Honda, they offered him so mnay different rides in the end, but not the one he wanted so he walked. You would htink after winning the chanpionship the way he did that Honda would give him anyhting behind Rossi.
He was offered the Pramac Tamada ride first, then a Castrol UK ride on Bridgstones, then Pons and finally Pramac with Michelins and hardly any money. They kept moving the goalposts.
And to think if Colin had not got the 8 Hour engine he wouldn't have won the title anyway. Honda can be such ******s sometimes. Remember Kocinski, they just stuck him at Pons and left him to rot in a Spainsh team with a SPanish rider. Then Erv took him over and the team had no money.
If I was someone like Vermulen or Roberts or Bostrom I would have second thought about thinking Honda were the best.
Remember how they treated Gobert, "Oh yeah you have been great, here is another year on an RC30 in Australia with a few rides in Japan". No surprise he said eff off and joined Kawasaki.
