I don't recall Steve Hislop complaining about the genuine jewel of a factory RVF750 RC30 that Honda brought over for him, the thing was a missile but handled very well as do today's Superbikes, I can remember watching up on the Mountain and the way that RVF accelerated out of Bungalow up towards Brandywell was astounding compared to the other bikes. The Superbike's of today are fast but they handle, steer, track and change direction very well and the TT challenge for me has and always will be just how fast the rider can get himself and his machine around the course.
