Superbikes limited to superstock?

[Robert Taylor]

there are people legally married in Fielding????

That excludes Craig!!!!!!!

[Robert Taylor]

Good point the other point that is valid is that a 1:08 (Tony Rees) and Andrew Stroud did a 1:05.8 is only just over 2 sec difference, and Andrew was on slicks, Openstock production also helps entrants further down the field (like me) to qualify which means more will be able/likely to enter.

Tonys competitiveness and laptimes will now improve as we have just removed the piston kits teamed with stock cartridges and fitted Ohlins NIX30 cartridges. Yamaha have no budget to pay for this, it is on loan as I both happen to have a lot of time for Tony and wish to see whats possible. But also bear in mind that Tony has not exactly done a lot of racing recently!

[Robert Taylor]

Maybe to keen bikers times are important, but I'd guess that Joe public wouldn't care what the times were, especially between different classes...................its the noise and speed along with close racing that people are after.

The car racing is a good example............V8's are supposed to be the best/fastest but most open wheelers at the same meetings, and even the Porshe's are faster..................no one compares the seperate classes.

Craig can correct me if I'm wrong, but he was doing 1.07's on his Blade still in stock form (suspension excluded), and that was fantasic to watch............the man is bonkers on any bike.

I think it was 8s but Craig can clarify.

Still not as fast as the 1.07s a certain suspension fiddler claims he can do on a ZX10, yet to be witnessed!!! Perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick, maybe its 1.07s on the abbreviated Motard circuit????

Tony Rees 108.65 farstest lap at manfeild on a superstock bike ,the 600's 108.00 ,Tony is one of the best rides out there on a good bike ,if the 600 are faster ,superstock 1000cc will be a big F up , ther is a need for superbikes,

Little recent racing

No time for optimisation

Stock fairings and heavy stuff still on bike

Tony will go quite a bit faster yet with more time in the saddle and development

Yup no matter how you look at it if i can save 10k+ when setting up a superbike thats gotta be good providing the playing field is level!

The best way to check it is to dyno the bikes even just the top 3 at each event. In ozzy they dyno every single superstock bike as soon as you pull off the track to see if you have significant power advantages over other bikes.

I can both see the merits of Supersock and the merits of retaining what we have. In fact one of the biggest accelerators of ongoing and often crippling costs is raising the rev ceiling of these engines. The stress goes up exponentially as does shortening the lifespan of components.

Now now Robert,Dont exaggerate,He only claimed to have done 1.08s,However as I understand it that was achieved 2 up,Bwahahahahahahahahaha,As stated unwitnessed at this stage

I heard 1.07s, clearly. Those engaged in fantasy / attention deficit disorders or blatant lying best be blessed by impeccable memory!!!

Nah I'm sure a man of his ability would be able to do the long circuit in that time...

[Drew]

Now here's a turn I didn't think would crop up, but I eagerly await a retort.

How about putting up to match the brazen BS that falls out of ones mouth, or if unable to match the fantasy shutting up?

[Robert Taylor]

Enough said

He told me the same bullshit too.
Right after he was telling me he is rated to fly the P-51, F4U series, and spent time flying F-4s in Afghanistan for the USAF.

He would be THE MOST highly qualified bullshit artist I have met... he has a masters degree with honours in the subject

While eating a pork pie with your spare hand and reciting in graphic your time doing covert operations in Afghanistan, little doubt Warwick!

I dont wanna pay for the engine mods but its way better riding a bike with them!
