British Superbikes, Silverstone - Pictures

[Silver]

Some shots from Silverstone's British Superbike races this weekend. It's a terrible circuit for photography, but the full gallery is here (http://www.motorbikesport.co.uk/2007_bsb_silverstone_gallery).

why is Crutchlow running a K6?

[Silver]

Thanks all!


why is Crutchlow running a K6?

He's using the same bike as Walker, except that he's running one exhaust instead of two.

[ChrisS]

Is that allowed in BSB? because its not allowed in WSBK

I guess so, although they don't always use both exhausts in WSBK, one is sometimes not operational.

[ChrisS]

Suzuki used dual exhaust on the K7 to meet with European emissions standards, since Superbike racing bikes don't need to worry about that they have no reason to use dual exhausts

But even though one is not operational Alstare K7s have to keep both on the bike because race bikes must keep the same profile as the stock bikes

Indeed, that's what I was trying to say. Don't forget thought that not all rules are identical between WSBK and BSB (although in this case I'm not sure to be honest).
