Achilles: BMW’s Radical R 1250 RS Sprintbike

[Grumpy Goat]

I don't think I've ever seen the term "sprint bike" before. Is that the same as a drag bike? This bike looks like a drag bike.
It seems a bit funny that in the picture Lee posted, the rider is wearing full leathers, full-face helmet, boots, but no gloves.

Maybe "sprint" racing (UK / European term) is similar to "drag" racing .... check this web page out and this one, which sort of describes it a bit. Of course there are no vintage classes over this side of the pond, as far as I know ...
