the rc45 joey had was NOT superior it was getting very dated by 1999, the r1 jeffries had was the faster machine, joey won by skill alone on this one considering the bad start he had also.......
Yes it's true his bike was more superior...but not all the time,he worked his magic on the bikes himself and if you look at nearly any photo you'll find random bits on the bike that he had altered himself,like cardboard above the front wheel to induce better airflow to the radiator,wee things like that that made joey Dunlop who he was! But 26 tt wins and countless others doesn't just happen because you've a better bike
RC45 superbike engine was at the end of a very long development cycle. R1 was brand new and in a fairly mild state of tune ... I'd like to know what each motor was making on a dyno... I bet the RC45 was making 15-20 hp more...
@ShakotanFC it wouldn matter if u had of put dat man on a club 90,he would of smoked all ov them!!!the proper king of the mountain..still unbeaten an will stay dat way for long time!!!john mc guiness nearly done!!!
@B18dohc1 Joey was an incredible talent, for certain. But... McGuinness is nowhere near done. John deserves a tonne of credit too. Probably raced against stiffer competition than Dunlop. There were a number of years in the 80s where Joey's bike was far superior than his competition's... fact. Especially the early RC35 days.
remember it well! was at a hole in the hedge between rushyhill and leathemstown, now a restricted area. the fun is gone! but safety for all must come first.
dave jefferies was a great rider believe, but should never of underestimated joey no matter how old he was at that point, joey would of done him at 80 he was a fool too say those things. RIP both
Great racing! I'm still amazing how the Kawasaki ZX-7 was the bulkiest bike but was able to handle so well at high speeds! Especially on this narrow track!
I'm not gonna compare motgp to this as its compleatly differ.
Joey's bike on the flying kilo sounds awesome, is the best souning bike i ever heard, absoulutly ringing its neck with perfect gearing. I am Yamaha fan and love r1s and r71's but the rc is some machine and prefare it to rc30's. joey beating them big 1's was a great achievment on a 750. I make this my favorite road race of all time. JD/DJ the big lad had some special, memorable momentents. My favorite, best road racers in the world.
i think the superbike race in 1994 with mccallen joey and jason griffiths was the best race i ever saw round dundrod,but almost every race round dundrod is awesome,best circuit in the world.....
Simply the best race i have ever seen, the crowd was fantastic, pure road racing at its best, we will never see their like again, r.i.p Joey and David

Still a great ride from Dunlop, however.

i think the people r stupid because what if someone falls the bike is gonna end up crashing into them the fans are way to close to the action.

Commentary sums up Joey on the roads in 4 words "makes it look easy". True talent, the likes of which will never be seen again.
