But why in over 50 years has the average speed has only increased by 29mph? That's a full factory 1000c flame spitting beast of a bike with a superhereo riding (McGuiness of course).
Either the TT bikes in the 50's were way ahead of their time or our mechanical development of bikes has really slowed down since.
Or...........the TT used to be just one long straight road in the 50's

That said the basic combustion engine has pretty mcuh not changed since it's conception.
