Any thoughts?
From my past experiences on a class B bike against a class A bike its like Groundhog day, Everytime you Pass the Blighters they come ploughing past you on the very next straight leaving you the work to do again, Great fun but frustrating if there is another class B bike a further second ahead that you could normally Catch pass and put a gap into.
But if you were doing it for the Right reasons, They I would think you could have a right old laugh, Just dont expect any sliverware.
Compare the lap times that are downloadable from the New era website, Or someone Like Paul Payne, Compare his 2006 laptimes with his 2007 times.
