nah - they wouldn't have been able to touch the ground on an ss600

Possably running the full circuit with its corners an all, but still it has some good straights on it where the SS6 would fly.

Unless it was really an SV1000? That could almost keep up with the SS600's and would have a lot more low down grunt.

You want to set a poll up for that Tim(well everyone else does). ie wrong times or ewoks.

I think the Performance bike test route is set out differently though. Even then I'll still strugging to believe it.

On a track like lydden the diff between SS6 and V2 is very very small, its only a 1M track though. So its all possable, you never know.

Code:

Twins/Triples               76.89mph        Mal Sampson            43.30 secs      Adam Lewis 
 
Supersport 600            81.99mph        Shane Byrne               43.11 secs      Shane Byrne

Rookie 600                  80.02mph        Shane Byrne               43.74 secs      Shane Byrne

Superbike 750             82.11mph        Dave Redgate               42.99 secs      Jason Sear

Don't think they did an sv 1000 in 99, and not a curvy either...hang on TL1000? just kidding.

bruntingthorpe has lots of looong straights though - more of a snetterton than a lydden:

I was going to say that if Shakie managed an average of 81.99 mph on the SS600's then surely the times would have been quicker than an average of 76mph that the twins did?

I believe with Bruntingthorpe being an old airfield and test facility that there are numerous configurations to how it can be set up wrt corners etc, worth checking in a past issue what circuit set up PB use. I think they say that with the rough surfaces it is more like a road than a race track.

I am sorry even if all straights or all corners (everything else being equal) a SS6 is faster than a SV, end of ... its not really worth arguing/pondering on.

Good old Journo BS and twisting of the facts* to make people buy their mag!!

*It probably rained just after the SV run or summin!!
