Sorry in advance if this is a noob question, But i was curious as to what the
average speed a rider is going through a fairly hard turn in moto gp?
Then how fast the average is through a straight?
Im guessing they're in 3 digits90% of the race(including turns)and just over200 on a straight......??????

 

There are no set answers to your questions.

Some turns are 100+ while others are much slower turns. They can only reach 200+ on straights if the straights are long enough. Laguna Seca doesn't have a long straight so they don't reach those speeds.

 

I know theres no set answer i was just looking for a roguh answer....
I understand differnt tracks/turns effect the speeds, basically i was in a dispute with a friend.
whowas saying they're is no way there going over 100 on turns and breaking 200 on straights (on any given track)

 

Yes, there are 100+ mph turns in MotoGP

 

They're touching, and sometimes just exceeding 200MPH on straights. If you watch, sometimes they'll pop up a graphic of whoever's bike they're following at the moment that shows RPM's, gear and MPH.

Most turns where they're hanging heavy knee, you'll see they're below 100MPH. But dammit they go up and down in a hurry!

 

^^^Abad, your post number scares me. 100+ in a turn also scares me.

 

Try it...you'll like it (at the track, of couse)

 

Can't say I've done it at the track, but we do have a stretch of highway where I live that is about 7 miles of nothing but dips, climbs and 45MPH turns. I can't say I've done 100+ on all of them, but I have done a fair amount of sliding my butt off the bike at 100+ and the hardest part is actually convincing yourself to even move your *** in the first place, haha!

It's kind of a cheater since half of them are uphill, so you get a fair amount of slack if you let off the throttle - your speed drops quick.

Oh, and while it's still not 100% safe, we started wearing headset voice activated walkies and ride about 30 seconds apart from one another. There is also only 1 intersection on the strip and it's in the wide open. No houses anywhere. It's about the coolest damn spot anywhere around here.
