Plenty of sports 600's out there that would be much better fun, and eat the 1100 dino bike for breakfast on a track.
Might be the challenge the real fun? I do not mind to be slower than other people, but to enjoy the bike. I tried a YZF 1000 Thunderace before: very fast but too perfect, it didn't feel heavy as everybody said. It was boring, I didn't "feel" the speed.
On the other hand I do not understand the low tech reasons: fully adjustable USD forks, rear shock with reservoir tank, aluminum frame. Only the heavy air/oil cooled engine is lower tech than a FZS 600, but it is heavy duty, so no problem with it.
Plus if the dinobike ends overtaking contemporary bikes on track it will be funny as hell. If not, I do not care as long as I am having fun. The day before my first track day a CBR1000RR owner recommended me to not to go with this old Fazer, moreover with the road tyres it fitted. You can imagine what happened on the track. I was a lot faster than him, many overtakes, he went home at noon.
I have written to the owner...
