It is interesting that they are using a Mission Motors motor.  I thought they were sort of tied into Honda, but if they are, Honda seems to be keeping their distance from the team.

Here is a on-bike video of the Mugen TT racer running the entire IOM course - just in case you didn't ride the race yourself:

Vid is worth a watch just for the noise.  Sounds awesome!

Also, 117mph lap from a standing start.  I wonder what it would be with a rolling start.
