there is a scene in the follow-up movie to FASTER, where a honda tech is moving the RCV into the paddock, he is walking it by the handle bars like we all would to turn it around, but then he lays it over on its side and is able to do a hairpin turn with it, all the while just holding onto the bars. i was shocked. you can read weight figures all day long on these thing, but seeing them handled is what really makes you relate or at least appreciate the weight of these things. which actually begs the question...why they are not that much faster than the superbikes are laguna seca? i know, LS is a technical course...it would be interesting to see a motoGP event run VIR FULL!!! even mortals like me see higher top speeds. some hopped up literbikes are seeing nearly 200mph on the back straight.
