Had no idea Exaat made the Quantel, I thought that was made my erm Quantel!! Will ahve to read the articles I have.
I dont think the 4 carb bike did much, but they had some success with an Irish rider whose name escapes me in the European series in late 80's. Maybe Gary Cowan?
But I think the bike was fairly conventional.
Development was at an intense pitch back then the Heron Ciba Geigy bike, Fior, Aprilia ran a girder fork on a bike, Elf Honda bikes and the even weirder stuff they ran in Bol D'Or events.
And then at a higher level you has Cagiva trying carbon frames, Honda trying carbon forks, wheels etc.
Kawasaki, honda, Yamaha trying fuel injection
