That is the stuff that car racing lacks!
* Nose to nose racing, lap after lap.
* Overtake, lose position, re-overtake - all within two corners!!!
* "Photo finish" needed to decide between bikes. That close at the end.

I wonder if the increase of bikes on the NZ roads, will get the TV channels thinking that there might be good viewing numbers available, if they screen races on free to air TV?

Funny to see how much more even the competitive field has gotten over the years. Bikes more alike and riders more professional - sitting closer to the physical limits for how fast you can go.

Nope. Last one to blink looses.
That's when they get passed for the win.

Each time someone blinks the other gets past them.

Aaaaaah 1996, the year Honda got it all so right and no-one else was within cooee.
Amazing corner speed considering it's 12 year old tire technology ....even more amazing that some of those blokes are still going.
Great footage but a shame we had to listen the 1980's style music rather than the quad-spannies.

Thanks mate, best F1 racing I think I've ever seen, just a pity we couldn't hear them.
