People are racing VTRs in 2015

I sold my vtr in 2014, so I have little links now to this site. Sorry if someone else has pointed this out, but BMCRC (Bemsee) have a power to weight race class for older bikes, thunderbikes. Basically people put modern suspension on older bikes.
There's two classes, one sub 105hp, one sub 135hp.
At snetterton, in April, a guy won (twice I think) on a VTR firestorm in the sub 105 with a modified frame and custom made exhausts ; against some super twins and Ducatis. By silverstone, in May, he'd got USD forks on it, but it went down in the rain and he got black flagged in third in the later race.

In the 135 class there's a SP.

The VTR is not slow on the straights, nothing seems to catch it.

nice to see the old storm can still deliver the goods on track.

Did he detune the Storm thought they were 108 as standard

110 claimed at crank, 98-102 at rear wheel in general. with pipe, filter, jet kit around 102-105 at the wheel, any more would be a very good one. these race meetings have a mobile dyno so it can be checked. I won races on my first one and it made about 103 at the wheel.
