I can indeed, I can also cross off new plastics. I just need to spray them. Thumbs Up

It needed new plastics anyway, wasn't do do with the crash at Rock. Next time on track won't be until March/April time and that'll probably be at Snetterton anyway. Got a race there in June and I've never seen the circuit.

A hoot. Laughing

Not as windy as you might think either.

I'm able to hold my own in a normal fast group on it, so it's not outclassed at trackday level. The sit up and beg riding position makes it easy to boss around, with some sticky tyres you can get some big lean on it. The only weak points they have as standard is the suspension, brakes, and ground clearence. I run BSD re-valved forks, technoflex shock and have race pads with braided lines so it's a great starter track bike IMO. Got hornet cup rearsets on it too and haven't decked them out yet. They tend to crash quite well too although the frame can be a bit bendy.

I'm selling mine next year.....

Yep, or preferably ACU test days.

I think I'd learn much more from an ACU day just because everyone's on the same line and a fair bit quicker than a trackday. Laughing
