I remember walking with mum in Sydney near Central Station (there's a couple of short tunnels there) when I heard a motorcycle. I said to mum, before the bike appeared from the tunnel, that's a Z900. She was so impressed that I could tell what motorcycle it was just from the noise.

Admittedly, I couldn't do it with any other bike.

Thanks to Cyberpunk 2077 I've found Arch Motorcycles. I quite like the looks of these.

Ah, the motorcycle thread. Here is a 200whp s1000rr with titanium headers, rear sprocket with a few less teeth, and 250rpm rev limit extension. Should be good for 200mph, but I havent tested it since I did 300kph when it was stock.

Oh, it weights 200kg so theres your 1:1 power:weight ratio

Finally sold this beauty last summer. We had some great times, but it was time to move on. Couldn't afford the track any more.

Aghast to remember!

Still have stale old fall air from 2 years ago in the tires.
Have to order some from Eneos.

WTF is going on with MotoGP? How are the Ducs so much faster, rumor is the GP21 is pushing 300HP.

I mean that's not unprecedented. Remember Casey Stoner on the 800cc Duc? Dominant, and mostly on straight line speed.

I know that power is usually their strong point but watching them reel in and pass bikes from 15 -20 yards back on the straights is crazy. I think they are something like 10mph faster. That new start device they have is wild too, Miller was 14th on the grid at rd 1 and was 4th going into turn 1. It just seams like their advantage in power is much more then the past.

I honestly don't remember the 800 era, I was working out of state a lot then.
