I have had a many sport bikes all prices and cc sizes and the GSXR750 seemed to be the easiest to ride and have fun on track. Many people could ride faster than me that were experienced. But riding the GSXR750 1998 just seemed to perform great for it's age on track. On the street I prefer Ducati with raised bars or an older R1

I dunno. M5s are for sporty road riding. Youll only go as fast as you're own limits on track, even with stickier rubber, but the track focused rubber will just help you get out of the shit when your own limits are reached. Its the real reason many track dayers use slicks now. Theyll nefer be able to fully exploit them, but theyll avoid these kind of minor spills should their skills abandon them

nice riding

D man Check the fins on your rad. They get folded up and block the air flow. Also make sure the inner fairing panels are fitted so the air can't sneek around the sides of the rad. You can also remove the thermostat in the summer and take the front fender off. Hope this helps! Jon.

jjcobas222 Your skills + A pair of Supercorsas would have exceeded the foot pegs limit way before. The problem is, if you hit the peg on the ground too hard with your body leaning way out of the bike there is a chance you will lift a tire off the the ground and crash. It happened to me doing much slower corners with Rosso Corsas on a Sport Touring naked bike (standard pegs).

Did you grab a lower gear than usual going in? That was champagne riding.

Thanks but I decided to go into that corner as fast as I wanted that lap instead of how fast the tyres wanted! You make your own luck on the track! If you look at the speedo and compare it to the previous lap it makes sense.

Breaking to early and bleeding off the breaks to fast and to soon leaving you having to throttle on before the apex, not good, stresses the rear tyre, compresses the suspension, lowers ground clearance. didn't bother watching any more. Empty your cup and listen to your instructor next time, oh and never take your ego to the track.
