Owning a kitted RC30 with the self started removed, as was the RC 30 of Steve Chambers, from personal experience I know how difficult that V4 is to bump start when hot!
This cooked my head watching it....if you've ever listened to Toby Moody commentary you would bet your life that its him commentating on this! Its quite uncanny to be fair.
@@Norton1531 swept volume not just the combustion cycle, if a 4 cylinder 1000cc motorcycle capacity was measured in the same way that Norton measured their engine the engine capacity would only be 250cc for the combustion cycle as the 1000cc four cylinder engine will only be firing on one cylinder at a time, the Norton swept volume was 588 x3 approx.
Love watching old British Super bikes and Carl "Foggy" Fogarty.
Nation on the Norton at the NW was something that has always stayed with me, the noise and the smell of the Norton flat out was wild😮
Great to watch during 3rd lockdown. Great racing by great riders.
Real men, on real bikes, no traction control and 130 bhp. Just brilliant.
Well said!!!!
Only 130. It's basically 600 with worse power delivery. Thank God modern BSB is so much better
1 always hated that rpm limiter rev..it seems a bit out of control.
It's amazing how this circuit looks so wide and big compared to with the modern bikes that are so fast the circuit just becomes a blur

Ah .........the good old days, when having rivets on the palms of your gloves was thought to be a good idea..

It's Barry Nuttley l think, when Walker was racing his head would almost explode with over excitement.
I was actually there for this race day.and i still ride.
F1: Yawn.
Superbike: On the seat of my pants.
POOP..ME TINKS 🤣🤣🤣
Too Tall Tel, what a rider, massively underrated lad.
Great racing
Brands hatch
I was there at mallory park dont know what year it was though i was standing at gerrards
Awesome Freaking Race!
...This is 1991, Correct?
89 or 90 were the years that Rymer won race of the year at Mallory. Think this 1990
It shows you how the wrong this commutator is by saying the Nortons got no chance because of the many corners on this circuit
bit silly since the Norton was over twice the engine capacity of the Yamaha
@@georgebarnes8163 Eh? Are you saying the Norton was bigger than a 1500cc?
@@Norton1531 Yes
@@georgebarnes8163 How? I always thought it was classed as 588cc?

year ?
Mallory during the 1990 & the Brands Long Circuit from the `91 seasons, at national championship levels.
My first sports bike was a ZXR400 with Ray Stringer Sabre Airways paint job. A beauty before I hit a lamp post. Thanks for the video 👍
Best bikes in the world
Perfect
