Kocinski. What a whiney bitch! I remember when he moved up to the 500, and was having problems, he complained that he could ride it if it weren't such a pig. Looks like Rainey and Lawson have no problem. And they're waaaaay ahead of you!!!
Damn! Had to make another post. Seeing those 500s really takes me back. They made a solid 200 horsepower, two upper and two lower cylinders each on their own crankshaft that counter rotated to each other. A power band that kicked in at 190 mph and would stand the bike straight up and down on the rear tire. And NO electronics! Those things were monsters!!
I can't even imagine what the powerband on those 2-stroke 500cc race bikes hit like. Damn, it must a real rush.
