Hopefully the BMW will be ok, what sort of form does the S1000RR have on real roads? (in the racing sense).

Nothing, shoey has run one, si Andrews too, but no notable results yet, if they can get the electronics to play ball then I can't see why it wouldn't work, the chassis is good enough with a decent setup and the motor is just as good as the ZX10R. That said I still firmly beleive anyone will be hard pressed to beat Mcpint on the big bikes, and IMHO the 600's will be bruceys territory.

I must have dreamt Keith Amor winning the superstock race at the NW200 on one then
And his second place at the UGP superstock race
And his two 3rd's in the superbike races at the UGP
Dean Harrison,Adrian Archibald,Rob Barber have had top ten results at the TT on
Be'em's ahead of Shoey and Andrews

Point is, it's untested at 130+ speeds.
The question was has it any form on the "roads" not just the TT
Three international road events per year so my point was that actually
having won and being on the podium at two of these events it has got notable results.
Sure it's not tested at 130plus at the TT but no one capable of those speeds has ridden one.
IIRC Archibald is the highest finisher with 7th or 8th,maybe that's what Mercer did also
If as you say a win and podiums at the Nw200 and UGP equate to doing "nothing" on the roads
god help us

Where you staying ? I'm at a Homestay by Injebreck Resevoir with an Aussie Couple who looked after me at Brisbane and their Daughter and Boyfriend.
Bringing Jim Bryan with me in the Van. He'll either bring his Megamoto or Mutley Strada, i'll have the ZRX.
Good News about Ryan and Keith Amor doing the Lightweight, Conor Behan staying with KMR and moving up from the Manx and the Irish Support Series and what about Danny Webb ?
