In recent years, MotoGP has gone through a period of significant aesthetic changes in the bikes, with the proliferation of aerodynamic devices that affect performance and image.
Jack Miller, current rider for Red Bull KTM, downplayed all of that in the impact of the unique experience of riding in the premier class, emphasizing that regardless of the shape of the bikes, riding them is unmatched:
– Riding the MotoGP it doesn’t matter the aerodynamics, doesn’t matter the ride height devices. I think to be privileged enough to be one of these 22 most talented road racers in the world for nearly ten years now, it’s been an amazing journey for me. So every time I get to put my ass on that machine and exit from the pitlane and as soon I turn that pit limiter off I think it’s the most amazing feeling. You can do any other thing in the world, but nothing comapres to riding that thing. I think it’s always a pleasure to swing a leg over one of these monsters. It doesn’t matter the shape or if you think it’s beatiful or not, it’s fun.
