Motorcycle Le Mans 24 hour

I'm interested to see that there is a motorcycle Le Mans 24 hour. Won last year on a Kawasaki ZX-10.


 


I can't seem to find much information about the race. What sort of bikes are they? Close to stock, or all out racing machines that only pretend to be a road model? Is there factory support, or is it mainly or wholly privateers?
 
Argh .....2nd time I'm typing this on my mobile.

They're a lot like the tt bikes.

Tuning wise closer to stock than to sbk trim, most mods are with quick pit stops and durability in mind. Big fuel tank thats eadier to fill , thick brake pads with less performance but also less fading, relatively comfortable seating position.

Stock zx10 ~ 195 crank hp , endurance spec ~ 215 , sbk ~235.

Not so sure about the teams , there used to be a french team iirc dominating with the gixxer.

Very limited support should be the case even for the better teams though teams like the tt legends honda surely get treated the occasional hrc goodie.


Last but not least you see some of the best, not redundant , electronics.

Endurance is where abs systems evolve to perfection
