According to Mir, they have 2 bikes. A revised version of the 2023 Valencia test bike (I'm guessing updates fairings) and another bike that has a different engine.The Honda contenders have similar times to each other. I’m assuming they are testing separate stuff but perhaps not
Just for the photo perhaps?Dumb question alert....I watched a vid on MotoGP.com featuring Honda & Yamaha testing at Sepang. At the end it showed a guy holding Rins' pit board and using a manual timer. Why? When you are measuring in thousandths of a second, what kind of accuracy can you achieve from a manual timer? I'm just curious as I see this often.
