For as long as you have highly competitive riders who want to win, you'll see records broken; you can't stop them from doing that, it's their nature.

Yes speeds have risen, however it's the technology that has allowed this. Was doing a 100mph lap on bendy framed bikes, with teflon for tyres, and blocks of wood for brakes (all compared to todays technology), any safer than the speeds of today? I doubt it as they'd have been pushing the limits of those bendy framed bikes just as much as the guys are today, so the risks of falling would have been as great.

The one thing that I agree has changed is the mental strain involved to react at the speeds they are travelling at nowadays.

Unless they put a restriction on the engine size/horsepower limit, I can't see the TT getting any slower. Would we as race fans want to see that? And is that even possible when a Superstock 1000 is doing 130mph + laps, and are getting quicker and quicker as standard.

What would be the bike for the Senio, Superbike, and Superstock race?
