If you like motorcycles and/or video games and haven't yet tried Tourist Trophy, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.
I was randomly playing around with the "Grand Valley Speedway" track, which is a relatively curvy track, with a straightaway. Just out of curiosty, I tried out a few different bikes, to see what kind of time I could turn in with one lap.
Yamaha MT01 (88 HP, 240 kg, .366 hp/kg): 2' 25"
Suzuki Hayabusa (172 HP, 217 kg, .793 hp/kg): 2' 22"
Yamaha TZ125 (43 HP, 72 kg, .597 hp/kg): 2' 18"
I love that my fastest time was on the tiniest bike in the whole game. To be fair, it also has a fabulous power to weight ratio, but it's still funny.
All these people all worked up about getting the biggest bike they can. Of course, this isn't real life, they're not real bikes, and track riding is vastly different from riding on the street. Still. Funny.
(And as a PS, I just turned in a 2' 25" lap on the CB400SS, which is probably my favorite bike in the whole game; it's only 31 HP and 127 kg, for .244 hp/kg, but it's most like what I'll actually be riding around a real track next year.)
