I think Larry is right. In the 2002 *international* TT there was an italian rider who tried to qualify himself on a Yamaha Fazer 1000cc. Yes, it is a road-bike while the Varadero must be considered as an enduro-road bike but what to say about its cross handle bar? And it seems to me that also in this year's TT there was a Fazer. But this is not the most important thing.This irish man Killeen lapped the TT course on a Varadero at 93 mph. Well, as all you know a french rider in this year's TT lapped the course at 91.97 mph on a Norton Wankel 588 in the same race in which Archibald lapped at 126.82 mph. The only difference at the benefit of the Norton rather than the Varadero was...Wankel fantastic, lovely sound!
