One for the two-smokers

Spied this cool vid on YT - Honda NSR250 taken for a lap around Mugello. Hear that 2 stroke buzz!
Edit: Looks as though it's taken of the Moto GP game. Still cool though.

thats a game (motogp) not real life - Mugello is one of the tracks I find hard due to the lack of control at high speeds with a keyboard

[Deviant Esq]

Looks pretty realistic to me... and the link shown on the vid doesn't go to a game site but an Italian bike news site / forums... :spudwhat: If it's from the game, I want the game. Is it on PC? Free stuff pls?

Second, third, forth fifth opinions?

that can't be right...NSR250's wouldn't be able to hit 297km/h as the speed on the top left indicated.

That's a pretty quick NSR250 :S

[Wasp]

I think its definately motogp as the layout of the gears/speed track name etc etc but then again they do try to copy the real life motogp so yea...

Motogp 07 for the xbox 360 got recently announced - http://www.thq-games.com/uk/news/show/1732

I've only played motogp 2 on pc and the graphics on that are pretty amazing (theres a tor rent for it if you want it)

edit: here we go; official site http://www.thq.com/gamesites/motogp/

Good point mate, didn't notice it was reading that kind of speed. Doesn't look like it's going that fast! Okay, guess it's probably game then. Still a cool video though I thought.

oh yes, loved watching it!!

Was going to send it to a mate who I'm trying to convice to get a 2 smoker until I realised something was a miss.

EDIT: Anyone know of a good video of an RGV/NSR showing the power band and speed of them?

[Deviant Esq]

The start of this one's probably not a bad one to show him. The rest of the vid is a little tame, but it might make him more comfortable in the knowledge he might not actually kill himself. LOL

No way, that cant be a game, the engine revs and tone and the granular track detail just seem way too realistic. It's definately not XBox or PS2, and there's no PS3 bike release, so if its a game I spose it must be the PC version but I still dont believe it

[The Pastor]

its a game 100% a game, get over it lol.

[nudemetalz]

Nah, I reckon it's real, as the way the NSR comes out of one of the corners on the ripple strip and waggles away looks realistic.

That's me...
I don't ride very fast huh, ah well. If it's any saving grace, my gear spline had come off, so it was 50/50 whether or not it would change gear!
