The very definition of being real men. Skinny tires, skinny forks, twin shocks, engines the size and weight of those in compact cars... All held together by a frame made of tubes the diameter of household water pipes. And oh, what traction control???
To be fast in this era of motorcycle racing, knowing the controls of the bike and the correct racing line were not good enough, you needed to know the laws of physics...and then... Ignore them!
@moriwaki1105 The racing program may have been easier then but racing those bikes was like walking on a tight rope as compared to walking on the board walk of bikes today.
