@@AdamLevi1990 look at the speeds the bikes go, there is very little space between the spectators and the track. We know health and safety will be used as an excuse.
@@johncunningham4820A Harley at 17,000 rpm would make a very very different sound. A lot of sounds probably. None of them good. Fun trivia: Harley made a superbike back in the 90's, the VR1000. Scott Russell was going to race it at the Daytona 200, given he had won that race 5x there was a really good chance he would have won on it, but he got into a bar fight and broke a bone in his face and missed the race. Who knows, had he won Daytona on the Harley, maybe we would have 17k rpm Harleys today!
