canthai55 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Mick Doohan on riding 500cc 2 stroke MotoGP bikes Salzburgring was one of the most dangerous tracks back then, and your favourite corner was the most dangerous corner at Salzburgring! That highlights what I was saying. Salzburgring was a daunting place, for sure. You came up the hill with the mountain on one side, right by the edge of the track, and Armco on the other, right by the track. It was top gear coming up through there, and top speed at Salzburgring was around 310, 312 kays [193mph], something like that. It was almost like you were in a bit of a tunnel and the bike was doing its own thing and you were trying to direct it where to go. That made it exciting. You’d be cresting the top of the hill as you changed direction from left to right, so the bike got light and it’d get a little crossed up. So the bike’s close to getting air through there and wanting to go that way, but you’re trying to get it to go the other way, so it’s almost sliding in the opposite direction to where you want it to go, so you’re having to flip it around. That sensation – the bike was truly dancing around. Plus, you knew you couldn’t crash there. Source: Mat Oxley @ Motorsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Why were the 500s of the late 1980 and early 1990s so tricky? You’re riding a bike that weighs 130 kilos – when I first rode them they were 115 – and you’ve got 160 to 180 horsepower in a 2500rpm powerband. That was all the powerband you ever had, if it was jetted right. If it wasn’t jetted exactly right you had even less leeway and it was even more of an abrupt hit. So it was like trying to ride something like a light switch. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/kevin-schwantz-how-i-rode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
