600 production race..........

how many PRODUCTION GSXR 600 bikes make 110 rwhp?

the scrutineers did not strip any of the bikes looking for illegal parts, which was a supprise, as they stripped the top 3 bikes in the Junior 600 race, when you are ALLOWED to use tuned engines. the proddie race finished late in the day and i think they all wanted to get to the beer tent rather than do a proper job and strip the bikes

what i do know, is that through the speed trap on the start finish line, Harris was over 4 mph faster than anyone else ! thats faster than all the FACTORY teams

Its difficult on this board for me to say much else, just let people draw their own conclusions, I have a very good Kiwi friend of mine, who is a top race mechanic and was at the TT, who accused Harris of cheating to his face! harris's answer was to put up or shut up, in other words he should put up the £500 cost of the protest and strip the engine to see if there are any illegal parts. My friend did not bother, but he has since found out who the engine builder was for the bike, and in hindsight, wishes he had put up the £500 !!!!!!!

I am all for people doing well at the TT, its a very dangerous place, but rules are rules and if you are going to have rules for production bikes then they should be policed. the trouble is, alot of the scrutineers dont really know what they are looking for...ie what is production and what is not. They should get in some of the scrutineers from the world superbikes/supersport who really know their spec sheets to stop any cheating.

In the 1000 production race, one of the Frenchmen, was running an Arrow full system and braking discs on his gsxr 1000 production bike, and yet the rules state that the manufactureres exhaust system should be used with original discs. The frenchman finnished a few places ahead of Dave, and actually cost us some prizemoney as dave would then have finished in 20th place instead of 21st. the exhaust system was not picked up by the scrutineers.....
