Yeah Gyro effect of a high reving motor has a not unsubstantial effect. And the precession of a crank rotating with the wheels as opposed to the the opposite way. Also the alignment of the three major gyro's in relation to one another.

I think a major benefit of the high powered bikes is the fact you can get on the gas in a slide and maintain the loss of grip but with a 125 theres nothing left. Drifters and dirt riders use this to great effect. But with really sticky tyres its going to all happen in a big hurry.

Motu is onto it.

not to forget that if we still had 990's with the development that has occured with the 800s over the last few years we would have even more powerful bikes PLUS the same corner speed we have now with the 800's.

I briefly raced an RS250...and they weren't much easier to slide! Say Highside.

Ime sure youve been on the highside more than once................:-)

Me? Never.

Taking that to the extreme with a 125GP bike, there's bugger all gyroscopic effect, with incredibly light rotating parts. Hence they are amazingly agile but I guess that agility can work against when you are walking the knife edge on the limit.

my surgen would agree with that statement
