faffi Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 There is no hiding that motorcycles have evolved dramatically since it was first invented about 125 years ago. Modern bikes can produce lap times that would be impossible to imagine just a few decades ago. Every aspect of the motorcycles have improved no end. What I wonder is, if we ignore the most agricultural designs that didn't even have pneumatic tyres, does the same principles apply for old and new bikes alike? Would you ride them in a similar manner, applying the same principles, or would you have to alter your style a little - or a lot - in order to operate various motorcycles at their best? Let's bring in some actual GP racers for comparison: 1950 Norton Manx 500 1965 MV Agusta 500 1980 Honda NR 500 1995 Suzuki RGV 500 2010 Yamaha M1 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
