wow, great job! Thanks.
Your numbers make them look slow, but those are tight turns, and 2.5km is a 
very short track.

Its just too darn bad that some budding moto-journo might have to take a trip 
to Italy to find out.

I wish it were me.

I ran the numbers on e-racers a few years ago and they came out this way:
goal- get the lap times of the small racers- gp125s, 500cc twins, 400 cc 4 
cylinders, motards
that means a target weight of 400 lbs and 60 hp. ( or 185lbs and 30 hp )

assume a TZ250/RS250 chassis - 225lbs dry with engine; maybe 250 wet.
drop to 180 lbs for removal of motor and fuel; add 100 lbs of e-motor ( no 
tranny)  = 280lbs
typical small racers ( FZR400,EX500, SV650) weigh in at 360-400 lbs dry, so that
would mean you have 120 lbs of batteries and controller, less if you want a 
transmission.

Caveat: you aren't going to get a lighter bike than a GP bike, they are very highly refined, unless you'll accept much slower speeds and a kart-track like course, which might be tons of fun.

anyway fun to think about.

is give you performance using video distances and
times.

For marking purposes, I am gonna label the turns as
video minutes, but I am using a stopwatch for real
timing and summarize the video as best as I can.

6:37-6:46 start to turn1=56mph(91kph)
6:54-6:56 turn=31mph(51kph)
7:01-7:03 turn=45mph(72kph)
7:04-7:06 turn=30mph(49kph)
7:07-7:09 short straight=37mph(59kph)
7:27-7:29 turn=34mph(55kph)
7:38-7:46 straight to turn1=72mph(117kph)
8:07-8:11 turn=35mph(56kph)
