      Peter Griffin if they made a pre war only class, many racing bikes of that era would make the effort to be there. You would be surprised how many Velocette KTTs, Norton Internationals, Moto Guzzis and BMWs are out on the classic racing circuit. Imagine seeing an entire race of girder forked machines like the BMW Troy Corser won on.

      I used to own an 86 VFR750... I was second owner, first owner had tricked it out for racing then added signals, etc. back to it to use as his road bike after he crashed it and damaged the frame in a way they wouldn’t let it on the track (a dent in the frame that didn’t bend the frame). I had it up to 140 once..... made the conscious decision to never go over 100 again..... I can safely say he corners faster than I did on that bike 99.99% of the time..... was about to get a new bike when COVID19 interrupted my cash flow.....

      Torque is much more important : when you snap the throttle open and there's nothing there because you're 5k from where the power is.

    • @prohunter717
      @prohunter717 6 лет назад +1

      Extremely stiff or non-existent suspension will lessen your grip since the tyre keeps bouncing and has trouble staying on the road since it cannot travel down to grip normally, even more so if the road is not decently even at all points. Plus, this makes it so that your grip levels keep spiking thus if you push too hard you'll lose control unexpectedly.
