blow_away Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Next time someone says modern 1000cc bikes are easy to ride fast... Note how the bike sounds like a v-twin mid corner, and a GSXR 1000 K5 on the straights. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be on top of these bikes takes amazing levels of balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 The last of the F1 Mercedes that ran with a NA V8 would go to FC7 - fuel cut on 7 cylinders - on corner entry. Keep the gas flow through the engine and into the diffuser, but only injecting fuel into one. That one was cycled through the process, so the load was shared around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
