I was looking at that earlier and wondering, how on earth do you get 251 bhp down through a single, narrow, contact patch?
@Tricky managed it at Pembrey!

Wow that is one ugly bike. I see why ticket sales are slow.

And Cadwell, and Donington :)

It was a real handful everywhere though , and I can't say it's the most fun thing to try and ride on track at any half-decent pace - exhilarating definitely, but super-hard work and can be a little bit scary at times, for me anyway.
The electronics on them are not exactly the most sophisticated, it's a constant fight against wheelies and although the brakes are shit hot as standard, it really takes some stopping as it makes every straight seem sooo short and they are really heavy old girls.

Definitely a fun bike and one to ride before you die though IMO, and I love the look of them (was the main reason I bought mine) , although not with the dull grey frame that one has- had to be green for me, looks truly spectacular in the sunlight 8-)

That's one of the best bikes I ever rode (at the time). Probably hate it now.

Just donning my anorak, I thought the RZV was the Japanese domestic version and the Americans got the RZ. IIRC the RZV was less powerful.

This was brand new. I was racing at Elvington and he came and gave me a go on the road at dinner time. Was much better than my 350LC which I won a race on later that day.

I think the Pan-Am is pretty cool, just not cool enough to buy one with my own money.

These guys are still hanging on but just don't get the ticket sales and keep rolling it over and pissing people off. But worth keeping an eye on as they do end up at better odds than most comp sites. I don't really play that much anymore after winning, but I've taken a punt on their Fiesta for my Daughter...

All jokes about its looks aside, isn't it supposed to be a pretty good bike?
