Fagan samples Glenn Irwin's Honda Racing British Superbike, Tom Neave's Superstock bike and a standard Fireblade at Oulton Park, and gets an exclusive insight into the team's workings. Honda claim 240bhp at the crank of its superbike and, with current BSB rules, there are no rider aids...

Having ridden 600s (almost) exclusively for the last 15 years, this looks absolute terrifying.

[@Bigburt-]

I was just thinking the same thing

[@CensorshipRebel]

I went from an 80, to a 125, to a 250, to a 400, to a 600, and it STILL scared me for a while before I got comfortable with it. A CBRR600, it was a monster to me. I can't imagine how savage 240bhp race bikes must be. My Chesterfield RS250 was probably the most savage bike I had for raw acceleration, but the CBR would drill its way to 165 without much effort at all.

The split throttle body sound is just so flipping good. Every bike should have that. It takes all the best sounds in motorcycling and just puts them into one, where i4s sound bad, the i3 comes in, where i3s sound bad the twin sound comes in, absolutely juicy.

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

electronics on these new bikes are simply mind boggling. Question is, would you rather have 150 rear wheel bhp and no engine cuts...just throttle control, or 225 rwbhp and the electronic aids? I guess it comes down to straight line performance? One thing I love about my Aprilia rsvr is the lack of any electronic intrusions and gobfuls of useable torque and power everywhere. Makes sense for the road but it would be murdered on the straights on track by more modern machinery. Great vid, mind blowing bike, cool leathers!

[@CrisURace]

150 for sure.

Nice video, but I really miss old style videos, where Perkins and Statham would sit on the couch and talk about the topic in interview style.

Anyway, Cheers for getting on with bsb 'blade !
