aces are my personal favourite. Watching these guys ride those<br />

600’s to the absolute limit is just extraordinary. Hearing the<br />

600cc engines scream their way around the mountain course,<br />

there is nothing else like it and in this particular race you can<br />

see why 600’s are still great bikes. Long live the 600 class!<br />

As for the Superbikes and Superstock races. The speed of<br />

those machines is unbelievable and in the hands of these guys<br />

it’s frankly scary to watch but at the same time you can’t take<br />

your eyes off the screen.<br />

As old as the Honda Fireblade may be in comparison to the<br />

new technological wonders, it still amazes and competes. It<br />

actually is still preferred ahead of the likes of the new Yamaha<br />

R1 by the top guys. Not only that but I still think it’s a beautiful<br />

bike. Honda got it right with that bike and with rumours from<br />

the commentators, backed up by McGuinness in the post race<br />

interviews, that Honda will have a new bike for next years race,<br />

they have a lot to live up to.<br />
