Country of origin? Petronas is a Malaysian corportation but where was the bike actually built? -- Last edit: 2006-11-25 03:06:59 |

It is considered as originated from Malaysia then, I guess. |

From the home page of the team: "In less than one year, PETRONAS and Foggy PETRONAS Racing achieved their bold aim of evolving the FP1 – the first Malaysian superbike", so yes, I think Malaysia is correct country of origin for this, although the bike is made in Burton-Upon-Trent, UK, the home country of the team owner Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty. |

According to a leaflet from an Altaya part-work model, the Foggy Petronas superbike derived from a still-born Sauber Petronas motoGP project. |
