Yeh its not that hard when you aren't running to superbike regs and the rest of the field are, I'm sure if you allowed any of the other manufacturers to bring non homologated bikes they would all be running 135mph+, a WSB Aprillia with illegal ecu and stuff would probably be faster in the same hands, until Norton enter a legal superbike their results shouldn't count, its unfair to the other racers and is just a glorified marketing exercise aided and abetted by organisers, the thought of 'Norton' winning a TT is too big a story for them to resist , any knowledgeable fan will understand but the media fodder who yearn for a great british victory just don't know what they are talking about, presumably you would congratulate Suzuki for getting 10th place in the supersport with a gsxr750?

Anyway I've made my prediction and as far as I'm concerned the noise of the apprillia livens things up a bit but as long as they are illlegal in the superbike class any result they achieve is irrelevant and will be ignorred
