Just posted this on another thread but just wondered if is is real, has anyone heard officially, it was on facebook. Steve
This isn't real is it? I mean I did 430 the other day, but it was snowing so that helped. But it the dry? No.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate this.. Dovi has hit 261mph @ the MotoGP test in Qatar... 261 in short circuit racing! Iannone not far behind at 406 kph Providing the transponder hasn’t shit itself
I first saw this on Facebook and thought wtf then thought this is unbelievable, then thought it's a joke. Steve
Thought they topped out at about 215 ish mph? . How can they find an extra 40mph.??? . Surely you need another 150bhp to get another 40mph. ? Transponder error?
No idea, MotoGP, Dorna & Pramac have tweeted about it, you’d like to think they’d know if it was a duff transponder !
Yep a couple of years ago they topped 219 last year I don't think it was quite as good, this year, sod the handling just blits them on the straights. Steve
If it's pucker, I suspect it is not the engine or gearing that will be used for racing, but I also suspect it's horse shit
Think probably a timing/speed trap/transponder fault However I think it’s possible if you consider an H2R will crack 249mph. GP bikes are considered to have at least 290bhp and some speculate 300bhp or more.. Whether it would do it on a short circuit is another thing all together
