noise limits

[Lisa]

I ve just heard that they will be no noise limits at next years TT, is this true?

[martyf350]

there was an article in mcn this week saying they are discussing the possibility of running bikes unsilenced in the superbike and 1 superstock/sport race.hpe that helps answer ur question

[realroadracer]

Why?

[steve-e]

So the residents can really complain about the noise and campaign to get it banned?

OR to let in moto2 machines into some class somewhere? (dreaming, Bob would like it though )

Its so there is a difference between superstock and superbike, at mo the classes look and sound the same. How just changing a silencer makes that much difference I don't know. In the early 80's we had a straight through pipe for the TT, thats when i started wearing ear plugs, 1000 Kawasaki at 12,000 rpm a foot from your ear certainly made your ears bleed.
