It's ridiculous that they are allowed to take a tear off on the track. They should only be allowed to take them off right after the mount the bike as they are riding down pit lane. You know while they are still completely clean. That's where I usually see them doing it anyways
I’m with you...they are purpose built that’s about it. They should integrate the design team from their street line to help with the GP bikes.
I remember seeing all the tear offs at VIR for AMA event in 03 or 04 and wondered how no one crashed spinning up the rear on one or tucking the front on one.
