FZS 600 track riding and cornering

[wickedmonkey]

I did one a short while ago. No kneedowns, but I wore a fair portion of my toe sliders off and my back tire is scrubbed right to the very edge.


It was £89 for the day, and tbh, I don't think I could have ridden that track any more. I was shattered!


I even made a little video...

Or this one if you want to skip the pre-amble...

All in all, I reckon the bike was more than capable. I was in the novice group as it was my first track day, so I'm not saying I'm the best rider, but I was keeping up with and on some of the bendier sections overtaking R1's and R6's. All on my 12 year old commuter!!!  :lol


It must hurt to be overtaken by a £500 granddad when you're on your £5000 sportsbike!  :rollin

Excellent vid. Looked like an amazing day. What tyres did you use? Do you have to wear a complete set of leathers on the track?
