Two of the best riders of their generation speaking the truth on current riders and the need for electronics.
Kenny Roberts...It's Bullshit!
Wayne Rainey...It's not reality.

Different technology, different generations, different people. Ain't ever gonna be like the good ol days!And I will be saying exactly the same in 20 or so years.

His comments don't surprise me. As he says, with the old 500's and earlier bikes they were not right on the limits of Physics, whereas a modern MotoGP bike is. That meant there was wriggle room - a margin between what the bike can do and what Physics says you can do. Guys like him, Wayne Rainey and all the other greats of the 500's era were able to push into that margin when needed. But now, on a modern MotoGP machine, there is no more wriggle room.Different technology, different generations, different people. Ain't ever gonna be like the good ol days!

Don't know I agree with that. Maybe being ridden like they are...as giant 250's. But without the electronics...I think there would be.

I'd love to see that. Bet Kenny would've had a ball if they'd turned off all the electronics and not just the wheelie control.
I really hate the idea of a control ECU, but with such a reliance on the electronics in the bikes there's not that many options for levelling out the playing field.
Control ECU's suck arse, despite what they've done for BSB and other series.

Mmmm... page 40 of the same mag... "...because Casey it's completely different, because Casey can feel really well which is the best slip ratio to have the maximum of acceleration..... so we usually set the traction control quite high and keep him free to manage by the throttle...".
Doesn't sound like 'bullshit', and as far as 'it's not reality'... well actually, anyone can buy a traction controlled bike for peanuts now, it is indeed reality.
