That looks very much in line with my ballpark type estimate. Would be worth seeing! Like the comments though. To be honest it was probably pretty scary averaging 135 mph on that RG500 Suzuki back in 1977.

11.08.2025 19:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My estimate is based on the speeds at the only other circuit that is (more or less) the same layout - Mugello. Best 500cc lap speed in 1976 - 91 mph. In 2024 112 mph. So + 21 mph.
