in reality honda, yamaha, kawasaki, suzuki were 750 cc, since they all ran 4 cyl engines ducati were 1000cc, since they ran twins. The RC45 was widely regarded to have the most power |

Ahh cool
I just watched race 1 at philip island, the ammount of spills they had in the rain, makes you realise how much technology has moved on and how much most riders now days rely on electronics such as traction control, abs etc etc |

I noticed they looked good, Baylis seemed to do well in the philip island race, saw he was 5th after binning it and having to chase the bike round in circles

I don't think the electronic aids are a good thing at all. Look at how dull motoGP bikes are now compared to watching Rainey and Schwantz knocking hell out of each other on mad sliding, slapping, wheelying 500s. Nothing wrong with carbs. Much simpler, far less load on electrics etc. Here is example: This is comp. valve from 750M Note it is like check valve on top of comp piston and damping comes from flow through holes in largest "shim" impinging on two smaller shims below it. Piston is one direction only so whole thing must then act as check valve for rebound flow. This is more modern one from RSV mille: ![]() See how oil on compression must flow down through valve stack meaning you can tune flow. Reb. flow going up just moves wave washer and checkplate so rebound damping is done on the rebound valve where it should be. P.S pics courtesy of suspension forum
