Padgetts have spent a huge amount of time and money prepping the bike for the course. Someone posted a link, maybe in the MotoGP thread, with some detail. They have had to get quiet a few one off parts and do a bit of bracing apparently. I suspect they know what they are doing.

Prob the same as GP bikes have always gone round there. Fucking fast.

As mentioned in the other thread it's a RC213V-S, not quite a GP bike. With the optional race kit it should make some 215bhp, a tad down on the estimated 250 ish of the real thing.

I wondered about the temperature controlled room that was mentioned when they announced these. Apparently it's because the frame is raw aluminium and it needs to be kept warm or it'll corrode. Guess anybody who can afford one of those can afford a heated garage - or living room - or wherever they plan on parking it.

Close enough to 194 mph first time out!
Bruce must have custom made leathers to fit his huge balls I reckon.

Truly.

We have Aliens and we have really special Aliens. I was quite blown away to see that 209.8mph from the NW. Bonkers fast. And no doubt slip streaming helped..........

Anybody found a live stream yet?

Talking about a raw aluminum frame or soft frame, we were in the pits at the IOM, chap had his new RC213V parked up next to some other bikes, when one fell over and put a nice big ding in the frame, bike now written off, would not like to be in the owners shoes of the bike that did the damage.

Heard the man say 152 Grand, holy shit that's about $335 thousand of our money. The ding in the frame from what we saw was about the size of a 50 cent piece, looked like where the handle bar hit it.

I reckon to write it off, simply for a new frame, at that cost, is bollocks.

what about the fairing damage when it went down, had the owner confirmed this, or was it just a chinese whisper?

Yeah, they aren't cheap. There is just to be one made per day for 365 days IIRC. The BMW 1200 wouldn't be cheap either.

The owner must've felt sick whether it was a write-off or not.
