IOM: Cameron Donald hits 202mph on Suzuki MotoGP bike
"I thought the bike would be really difficult and twitchy to ride, but it was great"
TT ACE CAMERON Donald gave TT fans something special to see when he wound up Rizla Suzuki's GSV-R 800 to 202mph along the ultra-fast Sulby Straight.
Donald was joined by Italian legend Loris Capirossi as part of Suzuki's 50th Anniversary TT celebrations at the 37.73 mile course.
Donald's double-ton figure was the fastest top speed down Sulby straight at this year's event.
"Man, that was just amazing. I thought the bike would be really difficult and twitchy to ride, but it was great. I was expecting to ride a steady lap, but it was so good that I was able to get a great rhythm going and pick up a fast pace.
"In fact, it was so good, I reckon we need to get some regulation changes for next year, as this thing with a few more laps on it, would really fly here."
