I agree. Slimline frames work just fine. Take a look at this clip from 2010. #500 has an old slimline frame (with many repaired cracks, 500 Dominator engine) . #212 has a McIntosh replica Manx frame (Venom engine) . #500 is in a lower state of tune with 4 speed box and Norton 2LS brake. #252 a six speed and 4 LS Italian brake. Both bikes on methanol. #212 drafts passes the other bike on the main straight so power is similar or better. But #500 with it's "substandard" slimline frame does just fine.

PS the rider of #212 had 2 second places at the 2012 Manx GP including lapping a 500 Manx at over 100 mph.
