I freakin LOVE The FreeCaster SuerMoto coverage, its great!
One thing I find strange is the way the S1s, which are 450s, Usually seem to beat the S2s which are Over 500cc, eg the Husaberg is a 570, the Husqvarna that won the S2 World Championship this year is a 530,
Basically, its weird how the smaller engined bikes win, any ideas why?
You'd think the extra grunt of the S2 would make it faster than the S1 but the opposite is true
Check out the results below of the S1 vs S2, the S1 is like a over a second a lap faster!
Also, theres a new Hypermoto Champioship starting up, check it HERE (http://londonbikers.com/news/10739/hypermoto-class-links-supermoto-to-growing-big-bore-market)
I wonder how they will go compared to S1 & S2, although the Hypermotos wont have a dirt section so, it doesnt really compare I guess
Anyway, any ideas why 450s are faster than the S2 570s, 550s etc?
Im guessing its the weight difference?, dunno!
I got the timing chart from the CATALUNYA below from HERE (http://www.supermotos1.com/reslists.aspx?ct=4&c=10)
