    I remember Carl Fogarty setting the speed record in 1992 on the Loctite Yamaha FZR750R to 125mph.
    It stood for 7 years, which is mind blowing when you realize that nowadays in almost every single race a new record is set.

    I think it would be very useful if someone could please explain the difference between Supersports und Supertwins. It is not that logic why a bike with 50cc more is that much slower.

    • @ryanmiddleton5917
      @ryanmiddleton5917 6 років тому +7

      Basically a supersport bike is typically a inline 3 or 4 cylinder engine with an engine size of either 675 or 600cc respectively where as the super twins only have 2 cylinders basically making the engine much less efficient and therefore quite a bit slower

    • @igorbrezovic
      @igorbrezovic 5 років тому +2

      The name says it - twins

    • @EnlightenedSavage
      @EnlightenedSavage 3 роки тому

      Vtwins operate completely differently. This is why a 1800cc Honda cruiser is slower. Than a 600cc sport bike. Even in world Superbike the vtwins are allowed more displacement to make it up.

    • @PrinzAquatic
      @PrinzAquatic 3 роки тому +1

      Inline 4 produce really high power at high rpm
      While the twin produce high power at low rpm
      This work for twin only, (side by side)
      The v configuration give equal power distribution, thats why old model panigale still use L 2 cylinder

      A bit late but
      Its a bar end protector
      Like its name suggest it protects the clutch or brake from being trigger from something outside the protector
      Really important in a race when you have other dude side by wide, in some case other racer can touch the brake and you know what happens when hard braking at 200kmh.

    So how about the 675cc Triumph triple in the "600" supersport class, and isn't the Norton a 1200 V4?
    Are the old Norton rotaries allowed in the Senior and what happens if Ducati for example wanted to enter a 1299? Would that only be allowed in the Senior??
    More questions than answers in that video.

    • @alphabravodelta42
      @alphabravodelta42 7 років тому +3

      675 triumph are legal in all supersport classes around the world. don't know about the new upsized triumph engines. Under FIM superbike rules 1199 would be legal. Norton's 1200 and a 1299 would need be a special waiver from the TT organizers

    Nobody seems to be covering the TTZero and it's the same like last year with no full lap video from any of the teams. In this day and age nobody was able to strap a go pro behind the windshield and record a run. This is BS of the highest degree, I blame elitist petrol heads for this outrage.
