Who has the best bikes this year? - KypDurron - 28-05-2015
It's been a hectic year and I haven't been able to keep up on the various designs. Who is going out there this year with the mechanical edge?

Bmw is the bike this year I reckon

Last year JM130s bike was the fastest through Sulby and I guess it was the best handling bike as well, I just hope the Yamaha has improved on what I seen at the NW200

What about the supersports? I've been hearing Triumph is the bike again?

The Triumph with Guy will take some beating this year, MD will have his work cut out again in this class.

bmw for big bike classes, especially stock. supersports will be guys triumph even if he hasnt had much time on it, although I quite fancy William on his trusty R6 to come good!
KMR's for the supertwins.
and anything Dave Molyneux takes around will take some beating, although I still cant understand why he doesn't stick with honda engine's?

If the yamaha R1 has been sorted and it looks like it has from the Snetterton tests it could do the buisness with MD on board but the Tyco BMWs with Guy and William will be pushing hard too plus JM130 , bruce and Connor on the honda,s i think its shaping up for a cracking TT

I don't understand why not many people on this forum back the birchall brothers and always back moly. Take 2013 they were leading race 1 until the puncture. Won race 2. 2 podiums in 2012. Last year they were leading until the accident at the black dub. I know you've got to finish the race but I'm suprised more people don't back them to win.
RE: Who has the best bikes this year? - cookie77 - 30-05-2015
The Birchall's are certainly quick, and well up there.
Moly is still the man to beat though, also conrad and john holden have also lapped quicker than the birchall's who's current fastest lap is around 114.66mph.
It's going to be close either way- but if moly has the engine's and finishes it's more than likely going to be him.

i would love the triumph to win again maybe its something to do with i actualy own a daytona 675
i was surprised it did actualy win last year a great road bike but expensive to race competativly
RE: Who has the best bikes this year? - Sackman - 30-05-2015
Birchall brothers for both sidecar races, in my opinion they are a formidable force and are going to take some beating. Mechanical aside they will be on top of the box.
Regarding the best bikes I think the Tyco BMW's are the best bikes but it's not always the best bikes that win !!! Micky D on an under developed R1, don't bet against it.
Supersport, I really think it is going to be Guy's year.
Twins, Ryan all day long, best prepared twins out there by far.
Only my opinion of course and that counts for jack!!!!!!
Have a great and safe TT.
RE: Who has the best bikes this year? - bambam - 30-05-2015
if the sorting out was done MD on the yamaha will be there,in the supersport class id say williams 600 will be hard to beat..supertwins??cant call..biased maybe,but ya may scrub micky d off at your peril..he will be there..either and anyway best of luck to each and every one...oh maybe i will predict a supertwin win...gary johnson...
RE: Who has the best bikes this year? - muz66 - 31-05-2015
Tyco BMW probably the best machinery but riders win races! MD, McPint, Martin, Johnson William D are probably the most likely to stand on the top step. Oh, and I wouldn't rule out Farquhar on the twins...
