Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 You probz think im thick as anything... but i couldnt figure out if the bikes were a 250 or a 1000...I heard the commentators say 250... but god no way they can do 180... must be 1000s right? Quote
Stu Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 moto GP uses 800cc now and they do race 250's but not in the same race as the 800's Quote
MtotheJ Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 depends what race. The one Lorenzo just won is 800. Not too sure bout top speed of the 250s...the 125s do 130 max i think Quote
Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Ye ok cool... what kinda bikes are the 800s then? like... I thought they were Yamaha R1.. CBR Fireblade 1000... Quote
Voodoo Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Ye ok cool... what kinda bikes are the 800s then? like... I thought they were Yamaha R1.. CBR Fireblade 1000... The 800's are hand made specials, its World Superbikes and British Superbikes that use R1's etc... Quote
Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 great last lap - pedrosa and dovvy good scrap..unlucky rossi 4 times in pits!motoGP bikes are prototypes they are not allowed to be in production. there are v5 engines, the yammie big bang engine etc etcalso carbon fibre frames and swingarms. cost of bike about 2.5million eaits the nuts Quote
techno Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 There not that much, and I believe theres no v5's anymore.But today was a bit of a mess tbh but nice to see george win again! Quote
Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 my mistake, i thought the RC212 was a v5 just seen its a v4.cost of bike (for year) £2.5m Quote
Netmeister Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Pedrosa has to get the 'man of the race' for those last few laps, brilliant viewing! Quote
