The 2023 MotoGP season has seen both of the series’ Japanese manufacturers struggle for form, with Yamaha scoring just one podium in seven rounds and Honda’s Americas GP win with Alex Rins proving to be a fluke result.
This coincides with a shift in balance on the grid towards the European manufacturers over the last year, with Ducati leading the way from KTM and Aprilia.
The German Grand Prix weekend was particularly bruising for Honda, who were two riders down coming into after Joan Mir and Rins were injured in separate incidents.
Five crashes for Marc Marquez forced him to withdraw from Sunday’s race.
Asked about some of his MotoGP rivals, Miller – who was a distant sixth in the German GP – made a barbed dig.
“We’re [KTM] the only ones not complaining about our motorcycles and we’re actually trying to do something about it to fix it,” he began.
“All they do throw their toys out of their cot and say ‘my bike is shit’. It’s simple as that.
“Why are they shit? Because they kicked 99% of their engineers to get his engineers, his guys in there, and now they’re fucked and he can’t even make it past a lap.
“So, it’s their own doing. Everyone wants to complain about their own bikes, nobody wants to do anything about it.
“Shut the fuck up and get one with the job. You’re paid to ride a motorcycle, not to be a fucking princess and complain about your bike.”
