Title: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: pennyrobber on January 19, 2010, 12:31:22 PM Here is a pic from MotoGP.com of the AJR moto 2 bike. I thought it interesting that they are going with a trellis frame.

Title: Re: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: Speeddog on February 24, 2010, 12:32:42 PM So.....
Moto2 135kg bike, 125HP, 140lb rider = 3.50 lb/HP 250GP 2-stroke, 100kg bike, 100HP, 140lb rider = 3.60 lb/HP 250GP 2-stroke, 100kg bike, 105HP, 140lb rider = 3.43 lb/HP Title: Re: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: The Don on February 24, 2010, 01:06:30 PM Bring back the two stroke, everyone knows that only real race bikes use a two stroke engine
Title: Re: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: Bizzarrini on February 25, 2010, 06:32:56 AM Hmmmzzz, 125 bhp? That's a bit of a disappointment! Street spec 600RR's are making about 120 bhp already!
Title: Re: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: Cider on February 25, 2010, 09:18:36 AM It sounds like consistent, reliable horsepower was valued more than big numbers.
Title: Re: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: gm2 on February 25, 2010, 09:21:27 AM Rumors floating around the Moto2 paddock suggest that Honda's engineers - normally no slouches when it comes to extracting power from four-stroke engines - emerged from the dyno room carrying not a powerful 600 cc engine, but rather the remains of several engines which had died in the attempt to find that horsepower.
Title: Re: Moto 2 behind the fairing Post by: zooom on February 25, 2010, 10:33:51 AM It sounds like consistent, reliable horsepower was valued more than big numbers. makes me wonder if they are doing 6 motors for the season as well? |
