    These riders really are the true gods on two wheels. They know one mistake and its over. How they concentrate for 6 laps at that speed is beyond most people. Respect for each and everyone one of them

    GREAT to see Norton coming back so strongly after so little time! The TT is the ultimate road test for any manufacturer. Where's Triumph? Back in the sixties I was the lucky owner of two Matchless 650 G12s. They also did OK in the TT before the Japanese exterminated the British too-complacent mismanaged supremacy. One was always in my workshop receiving TLC and the other in action. One was a 1959 single-tubed frame with 6 volts and a marvellous magneto ignition, and the other a 1962 double-tubed frame with a 12 volt system, coil and contact points. The 1959 model with magneto ignition was always more reliable, but the stiffer double-tubed 1962 frame made for slightly better handling. I once travelled London to Rome in 36 hours, including the Channel crossing, with an average speed of 80 mph on the roads.

      That speed is the average for the entire circuit, top speed attained would be a lot faster.

    • @droceretik
      @droceretik 5 років тому +2

      Top speed is about 180 mph on these classic racers and they are over 130 mph for most of the course. In a few places they go below 50 mph and the sections between Sulby Bridge and Parliament square is negotiated between 70 and 130 mph which brings the average down a bit from the more open sections. The average speeds have risen from around 100 mph in 1960 to 134 mph in 2018. I think Bob McIntyre (1st 100 mpg lap), Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, David Jeffries, John Mcguinness and Bruce Anstey were responsible for some of the biggest jumps in average speeds. More recently, Peter Hickman and Michael Dunlop have been pushing it up along with a couple of others. Perhaps 135+ mph average in 2019? Their top speeds have been occasionally over 200 mph for a number of years and reportedly, Bruce Anstey's Honda reached 205 mph a few years ago on Sulby straight. That could be just slightly exaggerated as I'm not sure it was radar measured. Mostly the top speeds are around 190 to 195 mph so they can get better acceleration out of some of the slower corners.The teams experiment with final drive ratios hence the different top speeds, especially in practice. They are looking for that sweet spot that yields the lowest lap times and the highest average speeds. There are no medals for highest top speeds. To put it in perspective, the average speed of Josh Brooks on this Norton is over 1 minute behind the current lap record. Still a fantastic lap to watch on a great sounding machine.

      @droceretik 6 років тому +2

      Well it won't be this bike as it's a classic superbike and while fast for it's day and pretty impressive in the hands of Josh Brookes, it is way slower (14 mph average) compared to the current senior superbikes. Norton have a V4 entry in 2018. It uses a 1,000 cc Aprilia motor. John Mcguinness will be riding it. It may do well but it is a tall order against Michael Dunlop on a BMW and a heap of very quick riders (Kneen, Cummins, Huchinson, Harrison etc) on very competitive machines.

      Loose Cannon - The bike in the video is a late 80s to early 90s 588cc rotary Norton so around 30 years old now.

    Two stroke, maaaaan what a riot i'm 55 and remember those days. Hats off to that pilot. He's faster than the Kwaka but is lighter and bouncing alot. The Kwaka is more planted cuz of weight thats the only real difference. Again what a riot, keep the classics coming!

    Wow, I love this vlog. Riding along with the driver, so nice! Real hero's there. (I know the circuit from a game, with cars.GT2) Of Course it is a little crazy, I love f1 racing, but the last years to safe. I am not waiting for people to die, I have seen that in the 60's, but there must be a risk. Isle of man, without any room to make an error. Fantastic. Thank you very much. I love this!
