Photofascination: Superbike Grand Prix Brno
The world championship of the Superbike class motorcycles offers an interesting show. These motorcycles come from ordinary series machines and so almost anybody can emphathise with the role of the competitors. Actually, this is the cause why these motorcycles were created. They offer the comfort for everyday riding, but whenever you want to, you can race with them. How does it look like, when the best meet together, you can see at the live photos.

The following photos come from the Friday (20th July 2007) training. The qualification and the race are planned for Saturday and Sunday. If you get to Brno, you will definitely have an interesting experience. Because it is something entirely different to look at the photos and to see the real machines rushing in ubelieveable speed with unbearable noise on the track. But if you don't get to Brno, not all is lost. Contrary to other racing events you can see the live broadcasting and also record of the whole race on the internet. Look at the link below.

Just to imagine what such a Superbike is. Let's look, for example, at the Ducati machine, which in this season rides the double world champion, Australian Troy Bayliss, who rides for the Ducati Xerox Team. It is the specification 999 F07, because this years limit is the volume up to 1000 ccm. From the 2008, the limit should be increased to 1200 ccm, so there is much to look forward to and the Ducati are already preparing the racing special 1098 F08. But back to the this years machine. Contrary to many four cylinder competitors, this is just a two cylinder one. It offers the power of 194HP at 12500 rpm and the maximum speed is 312 km/h. With the full tank of 23,9 litres of fuel, this machine weights about 190 kg and thus offers for each and every kilogram of its weight one horse power. You can see the black-red-white machine of his team colleague also on one of our photos.
