"Real Road Racing" on NBC Sports has so far covered street racing in England and Ireland. (Isle of Mann coming up). Lightly modified street bikes in Twin, 600cc, superbike and sidecar format are run with some riders in their 50s.
One of the road circuits in Ireland has a 2 or 3 mile straight. Superbikes hit over 200 mph and riders slipstream back and forth. Even ER6Ns in the twin category exceed 160mph. Pretty amazing stuff.
I've watched several shows and unfortunately they've mentioned a fatality on nearly every weekend of racing. Those boys and girls take their racing seriously.
