Guess we can now call the Hayabusa a touring bike!!!
It's always been the rider. Don't they say, "May the best person win...?"Sorta blows the excuse of 'I don't have the right bike to....'
But you leave out a vital difference in this analogy:b. that no one person has repeated wins IBA rally after rally. Look at sports and how some athletes dominate their sport for years. These riders are clearly all world class, yet few have repeated a podium place let alone coming in first place more than once.
I will add something and I don't mean to take anything away from the Iron Butt Riders who participated. There has to be a certain amount of luck in the mix as evidenced by the facts that they are a. depending on a complicated piece of machinery and b. that no one person has repeated wins IBA rally after rally. Look at sports and how some athletes dominate their sport for years. These riders are clearly all world class, yet few have repeated a podium place let alone coming in first place more than once.
