Bottom of Bray Hill...maybe halfway down Sulby.
Would recommend a keepnet to catch the engine parts as it explodes.

Aside; It's great that the TT allow non homogonated <<<You know what I mean.
WSBK have relaxed their rules too but not to the extent of the IOM.

Fugly looking thing innit.

I like the way it looks, it has a KTM RC8 flavour about it. Even better when not in the silver.

I've developed the horn a bit lately for the Honda NSR500v as raced with success by Joey Dunlop. Its less powerful than the V4's maybe 125bhp? But it looks as small and narrow as an NSR250 MC28, and what's probably something like 2x CR250 cylinders bolted to a set of cases, should give it some useably awesome midrange too.

I'll take one in Rothmans colours over the Sauter any day, but then again the NS500R v3 as raced by Gardner and Spencer would be even more sexual to me anyway!

People remember the brand or sponsor more than the name or model of the bike. Add to that, that the back in the day tobacco company liverys are and were the coolest ever colour schemes seen on bikes, means your wrong tbh!

Ohhh nostalgia, such a fickle beast.

It was a time when racing was full of characters, they could speak their minds, the tracks were faster, the races were closer, the bikes were unforgiving and electronics were only a pipe dream.

Anyway, Ian Lougher has been confirmed to have one of the bikes for the TT.

Hopefully they'll use the Spring Cup as a testing ground (I say selfishly). Michael Rutter has also been rumoured.

Halcyon Days - evocative of a past era, eternal sunshine, never ending summers, real men riding real bikes and all that.

Actually my point was that it looked better not in silver, the blue & white seems to break up the shape a bit.

*Awaits flaming*

As a noob, wanting to learn more, how will this be different to watch/experience compared to the other machinery? Just a different soundtrack?

[ZX-7R]

[Silver_Fox]

Thanks. So similar to the F1 cars of old. Real drivers, more raw machinery

[ZX-7R]

[Silver_Fox]

Thanks. My only knowledge of 2 strokers is my friend who rode his first 7 years on an NSR125 and changed the oil ONCE in that time because he was poor. FFS
