Looks like a track I cold get lost in. Great driving.

If you run tire pressure too low, especially the rear, you can raise temps so high you cook the rubber and it will wear excessively. Getting a bit larger contact patch can also slow you down. There's a balance. I think a lot of track day people drop their pressures out of tradition without even knowing why that trend started.

The triumph is faster on the corners and especially on smaller tracks where the straights are not long enough will be faster overall if the same rider takes them both for a spin. Great video

I would hate having to keep figuring out where I am supposed to go on a track...lol I would just want it to be ALWAYS clearly "the track" not deliniation via cones and crap

I bought the MT-10 and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to stay right on the tail of a 765 moto2 edition with better rider aboard ....not that I know for a fact he was putting much effort into things maybe he was still breaking it in even idk but otherwise I think the only thing that saved me was the MT's raw acceleration on the several straight sections ....anyway that day I was not so impressed by the 765 however some weeks later I must confessI to being utterly shamed by another 765 (RS this time) with an even better rider piloting that one ...but this time on a MUCH tighter route of twisty road one with virtually no straight sections to give my Master of Torque liter bike any opportunities at all to make up any lost ground...Since then I am kinda thinking I should have bought a 765 rather than this rather little bit scary MT10? BTW I dont literally engage in "racing" on the public roads I simply take note of pace and the only time I will pass is if I have a starkley faster pace and either get waved past or there is a really safe passing stretch...I am always delighted to simply pace with whoever is going give or take same pace as me ... and anyone that gets on my tail that I am never pulling away from?

this is older so idk if you'll see this, but i would focus on learning how to ride faster not commentating on a video, you're braking so early that you're just parking on the apex of the slow corners and you're really late on the throttle, like you're waiting for the bike to turn in, but the bike won't turn in off the throttle, start rolling on the throttle much earlier and you'll notice the bike turn in faster, i can't see your body position so i'm not going to comment on it much but it appears you're really hesitant to get off the seat, get off the seat, get your body into the corner and trust the tires and your riding ability. overall you honestly sound like you're really cocky about how "fast" you are, humble yourself, you literally got past by an rc390 like you were standing still. you seem like you have potential, but youre so overly confident it seems like you're not letting yourself learn more than what you already know, just film your track days without talking or having any youtube video in mind, and watch the footage back and be super critical of yourself, trust me it will help you so much.
