Moto-Brian Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Very nice pics from her. I hate u passing me on the straight. Time to get a faster bike for the straight-a-wayMore power for the straight isn't the key. Honestly, there are WAAAAAAY too many guys riding liter bikes that really need to step down and learn smaller before they do bigger bikes.With a bit more practice and learning certain things, 600s can embarrass a good number of liter bike riders. The two straights at Mid-Ohio are sometimes tough when following a liter bike, but overall, within the session, you can easily be half a track in front at the end. It's ability more than power...

RL600rr Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sorry it was a passing move! I'm pretty decent at the exit of the turn usually that's where I feel comfortable passing without putting others at risk. but as soon as I get on the straight-a-away people will just pass me like I'm holding brakes. My bike is so low. I even changed the gearing -1 +2. Great acceleration but no top end. Plus the bike is 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ability more than power...You are very correct!!!! Through the turns my pace is pretty decent. I am more concentrated on lines and turns than straight. Pretty happy with the overall performance. I guess I'm just bitching for no reason. Lol. 80% rider 20% bike right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
