For racing, I THINK IT SUCKS! Just another way they are taking the rider's skill out of the equasion. No more backing it in, whipping it around, squaring it off and hauling ass out of the corner. I don't know, maybe the riders like it, but I loved watching them slide em around. Just my opinion. _____________________________ 94 f2 frame nws one-off singlesided swingarm 06 gsxr 750 front forks 98 cbr900rr motor one-off red carbon bodywork one-off r6 style upper to mount to oem lowers 996 tail on one-off aluminium subframe and led tail (in reply to Frerice) Post #: 3

Kawi owned the day obviously, Honda at 6 and 8 was sad. _____________________________ It is not the strongest nor the smartest species that survive, but the one most responsive to change.

Honda was SENDING over data to the bike to alter fuel mapping and such, when a glitch caused both bikes to fail at the same time. (in reply to rsp919) Post #: 6

What's going to happen to Big Red now?  Are they ever going to do Suspersport again?  Sorry for the rant, I just think it's time to stomp everyone else with the baddest 600 on the market. _____________________________ TrackDay Ready 02''F4i ZG Double Bubble, Galfer SS Lines, PCIIIr, Muzzy s/o, NRC cover, Shift Minder(anyone want it?), Speedbleeders, Vortex sliders, fender elimated, GP Shift Ohlins, Racetech, Showa Custom Suspension Teaching Fun and Prosperity (in reply to jbreit) Post #: 7
