Just watched the supers.

[LAW]

THanks to Nuff for the invite to "RacingUnderground" I just watched both races and I was amazed at how close all those very different bikes were to eachother. It got me thinking though, with Rip's R1 with those weights on the crank. Would there be a difference between the V-twin's, I4's and V4's with gyroscopic effect?

I was also surprised to see a much smaller difference than I was expecting between the different configurations in drive out of corners, I though the Dukes would extend a lot more than they did, maybe that new R1 IS worth all the hype as the honda seemed to lack pull in the slower sections.

Discuss...:D

You could be right , though id like to see a more agressive rider on the blade as the Neukirchner suzy was gettin out of the corners all right and pretty hard in Race one, Infact too hard and probably cost him the race to Haga:mod_smilie_rockwoot

Still reckon bayliss on his duc would have done the job :ayyy:although haga did give him some grief on the odd occasion last year but couldn't beat spies in race two. different track different day things could change and probably will.
