- To put to rest the 'ZX-11 vs CBR900RR, ..., (substitute your favority here)'
- I point you to the latest issue of CYCLE NEWS, page 34.
-
- In vivid detail, Eric Vincent, describes the Formula 1 race at Willow Springs
- raceway in Southern California (pretty much my favorite track).
-
- He describes how 3 riders dice for the lead around the high speed
- (average speed in excess of 100mph), 2.5 mile road course. Now Willow
- Springs is a 9 turn high desert track with a twisty part (turns 3-6)
- and a fast wide sweeper (turn 8) and front straight. It is considerably
- faster than let's say Laguna Seca.
-
- Two of the lead guys were riding GSXR1100 and the third, Nick Ienatsch,
- was riding a - tada - TZ250.
-
- I rest my case.
