Nice find. A rigged race though, insofar-as narrow tyres turn quicker and tighter, and the "straights" were too short to let the sportsbikes pull away. Horses for courses, as they say.

It is also worth remembering that the wider the tyre, the more lean you need to get through a corner. As you lean the bike over, the contact patch moves away from the centre like of the bike towards the shoulder of the tyre. The further the contact patch from the centre, the wider the arc the bike wants to run, and the slower it steers too.

I wonder what advantage the asymmetric handlebars give?[/url]

The flattrack rider was really pushing it....twice.
The sportsbike riders could've braked later InMyarmchairOpinion.

Interesting but ultimately pointless!
They are the one and only circumstances that bike could possibly win against the GSXR's!
In the same race at the same venue but running clockwise, as opposed anticlockwise, the flat tracker would go straight on at the first righthander and crash out!

Look at 0:19, his bikes handlebars seem a bit weird don't they?

Old Thread Alert!
