Looks neat. I always wanted to have a go at it myself.
However I think I'll get myself crash bars before I even attempt it (had to get them anyway) Laughing

I think they call that a MOD 1 here in the UK! Laughing

Massive sense of deja vu with this thread.

I don't see the appeal of it myself but it's certainly as cheap and safe as motorsport coud ever get.

I did gymkhana / sports riding ("spo-rai" as they called it) a few times in Osaka and it was huge fun. There were lots of people on 250s and my CBR400RR seemed heavy and clumsy by comparison, which I thought was the reason for me being so slow. Then I let one of the good guys (actually a girl) take the CBR round the course and she was about twice as fast as me. A cruel lesson in the importance of technique Very Happy

A lot of people liked the Honda BROS for gymkhana, apparently has nice predictable power delivery.

On a side note, I've only ever met one bloke who was into moto-gymkhana, and it was Neil!

Only just, having seen your real name, made the link, but we run in some similar circles...

So, where was that? I'm such a tart! I'll talk to anyone about anything on two wheels! Smile

Haha, it was at Snetterton last year, you came down to see Dave Perkins, think you were picking up your z750 later that day. I was the lad in the ridiculous white one-piece.

If memory serves you correctly predicted that one of the lads was in the wrong frame of mind to go on track, and sure enough, a few laps into session two he broke his back! All fun and games...
