I've not been there, but it's very close to me.

I've heard it's not really a bike circuit, it's quite a fast track more suited to a car.

But still, it's a track, it's better than no track, and I bet you'd have a whole crapload of fun on an R6. Beware of the noise limits though. They're EXTREMELY strict. And even some standard cans are too noisy.

Raced there a couple of times, watch out for the first corner bit bumpy and sharper than it appears, the bit after that where it flips from right to left is the best bit. The chicane they put in at the end spoils the last corner and be careful of the white lines on the final bend if its wet, wrecked my bike there last time out Crying or Very sad
