  Valentino’s last 500cc win was on a bike with 168hp and that was considerably lower than a wsbk at the time.<br>There’s absolutely zero chance a 1000cc &nbsp;4 stroke with 300hp would be rideable without electronic aids.

  The close firing order on the big bang NSR was meant to provide a break in the power pulse. The power pulse break allowed the rear tire some &quot;rest&quot; to regain traction.

  I remember Kenny Roberts on his Yamaha, I was fascinated with his dominance at the time.

  I couldn&apos;t agree more with the point that you made about putting today&apos;s fastest riders on these old bikes and seeing how they would perform. Back then a 1/4 inch on the throttle was the difference between a brilliant pass.....or ending up highsiding into a rhubarb bush 200&apos; off the track, especially with those TZ 750s, &nbsp;they were insane and the riders were a completely different breed of rider compared to today.

  The Honda Interceptor was when I fell in love with bikes. The full fairing, the colors, and the V-4. &nbsp;Was a beautiful machine.

  Not only was the NSR the most blistering bike over the longest time, its still probably one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made, &nbsp;and its even better with its clothes off!

  Maybe the bikes of the 2 stroke era were more exciting but to call motogp, especially this season, “boring” is somewhat absurd. It was a great season with numerous winners and close races

  the 2 strokes were the GOLDEN days. I remember a feature for TV in Australia where Mick Doohan (retired) and Casey Stoner swapped bikes... Mick was clearly bored on the newer 4 stroke, while Casey was visibly shook, COMPLETELY different animals. Makes you wonder how they even fit their balls in those pants :D

  MotoGP has been the closest it has ever been. In the 80s the gap between the first two even went up to one minute. So yeah, it&apos;s a perspective thing
