Legend! Listening to him it is hard to picture him atop a superbike blasting along the TT course, inches from danger. Hicky seems so normal, you'd expect some mad glint in his eye.

@RevMonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, amazing when you think what Hicky does for a living. You can see he is bike mad, like myself, just that he has god given talent and I have none :) Was great meeting him. I go to BSB occasionally and always watch the TT so now he will be my favourite and will cheer him on! Ade

Great shout. Peter would love that, if the racing series was televised, even on some sort of bike channel. In all forms of sport in this country, although the infrastructure is very good in parts, there is little media coverage of anything other than adult activities. Ade

How fast do they go, would be amazing with a day mot, would be fun x

@RevMonkey 3 жыл бұрын

Ha, yeah, could be a laugh on the road. Not sure on the speed as on small tracks they would never likely reach it and the gearing is aimed at these twisty sort of routes. Seeing as heavier 125s go 65MPH - geared correctly I cant see why it wouldnt reach a bit higher. Still , these are not about top end but having the feel and ability of a big bike,. Ade

How many mph can you get out of them

@RevMonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Not sure, due to gearing. These things are 120 up to 190cc, light as anything and 'normal' 125 can do 65 mph! As they are meant for circuits you can never get up much over 50 anyway. Love to see Hicky do a promotion whereby he rides this for one lap of the IOM TT!!! :) He'd still be quicker than me if I was on my Fireblade! :) Ade

The bikes are sick but the price is absolutely ridiculous.. they start at like 6500$ and top of the line is 9 thousand dollars.. I would like a explanation on why they are almost as expensive as full size bikes and actually more expensive then some fullsize bikes? I mean the engine is made by someone else if I'm not mistaken so what's the deal? Is it just bc you can?

@RevMonkey 2 жыл бұрын

True - they are expensive. They use great components but one could build a bike themselves probably - not too difficult.

@@RevMonkey yeah I mean they fabricate the chassis sure but not much else..I guess ur rly just paying for the idea but it won't be long before Chinese manufacturers start cloning these things for a 3rd of the price and I'm fine with that. Id buy one of those and just upgrade it myself bc I can do some light fabricating. Just bc it comes out of Italy doesn't mean it has to be expensive
