Well that's an RS250. So it's not the same model as your RS125 is. Laughing

I think it will lean a bit further....................

I think not. Smile

The rear was quite often sliding slightly ... or so I understand is what happens when it suddenly turns in quicker. I also had one little incident where it slid out a bit and the peg touched down. Probably helped that half my leg was on the tarmac as it was Smile

If I was going around a corner 'properly'; ie on the power a bit, then I probably could have gone a bit faster. Also if I had decent newish tyres (almost all the tread gone from that side after cadwell etc).

Dusty has defintely got this bike further over... he was consitantly getting the hero blob down; though weight and other factors are going to come into play as he aint got much of it Smile.

I believe that is a pic of it actually down:

The forks on the rs250 are actually really soft; the later models are better, but the earlier ones aint great. I may stick some 15 weight oil in at some point. Once you're actually in a corner like that it's not so much of a bother... it's more turning in and going over bumps etc midcorner that the suspension can cause problems.

However I wouldn't reccomend you try this at home kids Smile.
I have crashed a bike on this roundabout before pushing it too much... so I've got an idea of what to look out for and how to save it etc.
Also the rs is good because it's pretty thin and you can hang off lots (as you can see Smile ).
The rs250 is the ideal bike to do this sort of thing on; even stickier tyres would have helped, but the light weight and geometry do make it pretty good.

Note also that while I'm not tall, I'm not short either. Obviously the longer your fore-arms, the easier it's going to be.

I got the grab rail from my previous rs250.. I thought it was just standard, though I presume not then.
