What would it take to make 141mph average speed at Isle of Man?

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which is absolutely, utterly fucking nuts already. But let’s get full nutty. How fast would you need to be in most of the flat-out stretches at that course, and what kind of bike and adjustments to tires and electronics can be made to achieve 141mph? Assume the rider is MotoGP-level of fitness and skill, and is brave enough to run this race.

with the already insane topspeeds the bikes have i think the biggest gains would be found in the turns...

and for that you’d need an absolute lunatic (and really grippy tires n stuff... but mostly a madman)

It would be super interesting to see a guy like Marquez ride the TT.

I remember Rossi rode the course in 2009 If I remember correctly, his conclusion was that those guys are nuts, and that it was too dangerous in his opinion.

No, no, not yet.

We need something that’s close to a modern MotoGP bike.

Like this one, a replica of the MotoGP Honda.

Maybe it needs 4 wheels like in the picture so that it can put down all that power and have a lot more traction/grip in the corners to make a faster lap time?

I donno I’m just trying to help here.

Bring Joey Dunlop back from the dead, and give him a modern bike.

In the straights the IOTT racers are def doing over 180 and hitting 200mph fairly often....
