hmm, sobering isn't it...
Newest might not be fastest afterall!!
MTs bike has the unfair advantage of using a special lubricant during the combustion stroke....
All of the reliability of a 4 stroke, but burns more oil than a 2!

Interesting, but remember that's 1.6sec per lap, so over 25 laps...? 1.6 sec per lap is quite a lot in racing. F1 teams spend millions to gain .2-.3 sec per lap! Makes the difference between winning and coming second, or third.

yes, but it does mean track day supremacy is not easy to secure as buying the latest greatest!

True - thats why I sold it - a litre per Coro loop was getting a bit expensive........

Oh I definitely agree! Put me on a Gixxer thou and Rossi on my 'F', and I probably won't see which way he went!:third:

GO BARBIE

The old girls getting the piston rings done at the moment. There's not a single mark on anything except the cam chain tensioner, and we're only replacing that just in case. So it's valve seals, piston rings, cam chain tensioner & gaskets and she'll be good as new (almost).

It's great working in a bike shop.
