OK, only Spanish GP stars but the bikes are awesome. No TC!
I have to give Puig a thumbs up for his SM skills. Same for any the guys riding two-strokes on that track.

I've often wondered what it would look like to see the GP field run a race on bone stock road going bikes.
Remove the lights, add a pipe so it sounds faster, and put slicks on it, adjust the suspension for the rider and that's it. Go ride.
Just for shits and giggles of course, one of those hypothetical situations.
I've also wondered what it would look like if you reversed the grid on a GP race and put the fast guys at the back and the back markers on the front row. How long would it take for them to scythe through the pack, and what would the finishing order look like.

We got to see Rossi start from Pit Lane at Aragon and IIRC he finished 6th. Of course the grid was small and two people crashed before Rossi even got on track.
Not much race action in this vid but it has Rossi, Stoner, Melandri, Dovi on SMs.
