Re: New shape XSR 900
Yeah, in 1990 and 1991 Foggy & Hizzy were team mates on Honda RVFs. In 1990 Foggy won Senior and F1 and in 1991 Hislop won both. 1992 was Foggy/Yam, Hizzy/Norton.

1989 was when Hislop broke the 120mph barrier for the lap record on the Honda RVF that was originally earmarked for Joey before he had his big crash at Brands in March.

I was wrong, I was in a funny mood last night, so sorry for being a bit of an arse.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 8:20 pmWhich lap record would that be? Foggy set the TT lap record riding an OW01 in 1992 when battling with Hizzy, but that lap record certainly didn't stand for 20 years.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 8:12 pmAnd yet the OW01 held the lap record for about 20 years.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 5:52 pm
I can't speak for every series, but at the TT the RC30 ruled the roost for years, and it also managed two WSBK championships in 1988/89 in the hands of Fred Merkel. Neither Yamaha managed a WC.

Fair play. It happens to all of us.
