Hello Paul,
Tough call really.But every 4 stroke rider/owner I have met seems a little odd to me.
I'll let you guess which one I prefer.
Sorry Andy and Sharvie.
Cheers

I will go along with being labeled "a little odd" if that groups me with Toni Bou. :lol:

Wonder what hope Honda would have of winning the WTC if they were using modified production based bikes, rather than ground up hand built machines, using very costly special parts?

Sorry Brian

I can't accept that four stroke = odd. In my humble experience, there are many more 'odd' two strokers out there.

Here's one that comes to mind

Hello Andy,
I like his riding style. Is he A grade?
You can't go past a powerful 2 stroke.
Cheers

I agree, he does have an interesting technique.

One of the main attributes that I can see is that his head is full of hot air and his.....(how to say this nicely....) physique, tends to give the bike a very low centre of gravity which obviously helps. Certainly I would say there would be planty of traction and not too much wheelspin.

Maybe we could try and emulate this at some training sessions.

I'd really like to see how he went on a four banger....

Hello Andy,
I don't believe he would lower his standards enough to change his preferences.
Also I think maybe you are checking out the wrong parts of this young man. I believe he is married , but you might be able to turn him.
Cheers :D
