Looks as if Honda and Suzuki own this course of late.

This is the reason why most of the professional superbike racers will not run this race. Stone walls do not have a lot of give at 140 mph.
However, I look forward to watching it on TV every year.
I will bet you, this year it will be won by some guy named Conner with bad teeth.
Something left off the list is the fact that the course is opened up every night after the end of the days racing, allowing the public onto the course, where there are no speed limits.
This results in quite a few “civilian” deaths every year as well.

What is interesting is the level of death and danger consistant over a 90 year history.
The NW 200 in Ireland has had 15 deaths since 1939. The TT on the Isle of Mann has had 240 deaths from 1907.
