It's in the IOM TT thread already

 

Just. Fukcin. Outstanding.









And any soulless tree-huggers hatin' that can go drive their Prius off a Dover cliff.

 

I'm not surfing this entire site to see whether or not it's been posted.

 

Don't have to.....it was like 10 threads below the one you made

 

Now it has its own thread.

 

Um. My. Just... Um.

I have always said I would race the TT. On the biggest, baddest, 50cc motorcycle you EVER saw.

This... was not 50cc.

 

I just peed my pants watching that.

 

Any one can go fast in a streight line man, does it corner and stop well though???? doubt IT BIG TIME. It is just a show ponny

 

Well, that would explain the 3' swingarm and chrome wheels they come with

 

Love the roar of the beast. :wow:

 

It has over twice the HP, but it went around here a little slower than a Moto2 bike I think is what they said.

Well he was supposed to be taking it easy.

 

Do the Moto2 bikes use ceramic brakes?

 

It gets around the track pretty good. Maybe not Superbike good, but much better than you'd expect.

 

No only MotoGP uses them. I'm assuming because the 2 guys can't achieve the speeds the GP bikes do. They are down about 100 + HP on them.

 

The bike actually handles very well in stock form.

 

Hell, it seems perfectly suited for the TT anyway. Bikes spend a lot of time going straight. Kind of ironic that he would criticize its ability to turn.

 

I want to see one raced in the NW200 . . . in the rain.

 

We were told that GPS said 206mph but rider saw 218 mph on speedometer.
