i think if your an extremely talented racing driver/rider whatever like the one that have mentioned i think yes you will be quick on anything, give Rossi, Schuy, or Colin (RIP) a combine harvester, i think harvest would come early that year.

That's pretty impressive, I wonder how your average rider would fare on one.

Anyone fancy giving me a go on one.

bikers versus drivers is one thing; but how about rally drivers versus race drivers; the by now pensionable age early-80s rally god Walter Röhrl

reportedly drove the doors off Schumacher round the 'Ring in identical cars recently; apparently MS was aggrieved and called him a "lunatic". given the conditions they have to contend with, it's arguable that rally drivers and road-race bikers have never had the respect they deserve, relative to their circuit peers

Rohrl is Porsches' Ring Tester though - he bloody nearly wore a set of tracks into the tarmac testing the Carrera GT - heaven knows how many miles he's racked up there...

Maybe someone should have told Schumacher it was a race.

Maybe someone should have told Schumacher it was a race that hadnt been fixed by bernie for him to win without trying.

Wonder if he'd try to cheat on a bike as much as he did in a car ?

Not likely, too much potential to hurt his legs driving into the sides of rivals, plus motorbikes are pretty small so parking them in the middle of a track wouldn't do much good

edited to add: Still impressive time though

But only just over 1sec off the pace of Ducati test rider Vittoriano Guareschi.

1. Casey Stoner AUS Ducati Marlboro Team (B) 1min 32.348 secs

8. Shinya Nakano JPN Honda Gresini (B) 1min 33.901 secs
9. John Hopkins USA Kawasaki Racing Team (B) 1min 34.277 secs (I bet he's just loving being behind his old bike)

[Weltmeister]

Schuey was also only using steel brakes, so around 1 sec lost for those vs Carbon units

Scuhey is also used to traction control! Yawn!

[r5gttgaz]

Does this show how good the Dukes TC actually is then? I bet a competent track day rider could hit the same times.

Put Schumi on a early 90's NSR 500 and see what times he does.

[Biker's Nemesis]

What puts it in perspective for me is that Schumacher, was only Two and a half seconds behind Melandri, on the same bike.
