[quote]I'm sure it will be a factory H2R. Should be very interesting to see how it stacks up to the race bikes. I think it will have enough engine and also have comparable handling on that course./quote]
On the fastest part of the course, Sulby straight, the Superbike spec machines are nudging 200mph so the 2R should be up around there but, obviously,much will depend on who's actually riding it and his course knowledge/experience. The tests I've read of the 2R mentioned the lack of low down grunt so it may not do so well round the twisty bits of the Island. Should wake up any sleeping residents though! JMO
