Two Cycle Stories - Why only 800cc? and Alaska to Argentina


Small=Fast, Long

A couple of interesting stories off the Roadracing World Feed:
Man rides BMW F650 from Alaska to Argentina , breaking the old record by 7 days. Averaged 16 hours a day for 27 days. Just saying, could be a nice trip, only I think I'd take my time.

Also, a ton of coverage on early testing at Valencia. Sure, decrease the displacement of a motorcycle by almost 200cc, and you get a bike just as fast around the track. I believe the technology is no longer the limiting factor, the rider is. Until you have a genetically engineered Pedrobot . Wait. You do.
