DD v big bike lap times
 

been having a bit of a convo on FB and offline about this, and having compared times from videos of Cadwell with me on a TD doing 2'02s, Trouty in a race on 620 doing 1'55 kinda time v Spike Edwards on an 848 doing sub 1'40's

anyone compared their times from say 848/IL4/1098 v same person on same track similar conditions on a DD bike?

be interesting to know if anyone has data to hand. Guess Sam West for one has moved up so would have some times, who else?

BTW the vids showed on Park straight apex to apex 6 or so secs slower for trouty and 12+ for me

Dallas at Pembrey

583 Class B bike 1m 08.9s
1098 Same weekend 1m 04s
his best lap was on a Superstock R1 with a 1m 03s

SoT and Superstock llap records are less than a minute

Leon Morris the 848 Champion for 2011 has probably lapped Pembrey in a minute when he was racing a R6 with North Glos

There doesnt sem much difference at pembrey between big and small bikes tho. when you think there is what, 8-10 secs between the thous and 583 DD?? Compared to 15 or more for an 848 and closer to 20 at cadwell. Spose coz its half the laptime, % wise is probably similar, although B Dd is 58's at Brands and yet the thous are what, 10 secs quicker???

what do you reckon you could do on the 998 Kev around Cadwell compared to what you did this year on A class?

Mark Lister did a 1.37 on my 800 Ducati around Cadwell (79BHP)

what did he do with a 620 chaz? I think cadwell is really dependent on that straight line speed, and the difference between my 583 and the 620's is a fair few seconds, with a few more with larger bikes.

What I'm really wondering is if I could get to a 1'40 or less with an 848, R1 or whatever. Obviously bored :lol:

Never got a clock on him with the 620 as he only rode it on the DSC track day.

ar of course didn't do that round last year

still think I'd struggle with a low 1'40. I need to find out!!

what did he do round brands on 800 or his T9? can you remember?

Not sure what on the 800 but his lap record on the 620 is 55.35.

1:44 on my 620 (reckon 1:43 if I knew how to set the bike up properly). My friend Steve does 1:36 on a stock 2010 Blade so I'm sure 1:40 is acheivable on the 848/R1.

Wouldn't mind a go on that 800. ;)
