Vintage Festival 2021 at Mosport will have Spectators.

That's great. People always say there is no replacement for displacement but it just goes to show you what a light bike with good suspension and modern race tires will do even if it doesn't have as much motor. I managed to get to the Moto America race in July at Laguna Seca and the fast Junior Cup guys were pulling 1:36/1:37 around that track... They were only around 10 seconds slower that Gagne... Bloody Incredible

My best time ever around Mosport on my old GPZ750 twin shock was 1:44 and that was only once. It was probably a lot more frightening as well. Riding my track bike was like being towed around on a couch compared to the GPZ... LOL

Good grief that's fast on a little bike. Not much braking going on there!

On a little bike, the only time you should be braking is going up the hill into T5 and even then, the uphill does most of it. Don't even think about brakes, or even downshifting, at the end of the main straight.

Big bikes too, at least vintage.
...but I defy you to go into 8 without thinking about hitting the brakes or downshifting. DON'T... but you're gonna think about it.
With a P2 Heavy Norton, with a stock trans, you only use 3rd and 4th gear

Yikes. It was looking like people weren't braking hard into corners but I thought that was my eyes deceiving me.
