Gears/Revs and Advanced Training

[Grahamm]

My observer has made it clear that I'm not to break the speed limit except in exceptional circumstances for my safety.

Observers are required to say that, because they're not allowed to tell you to break the law.

But, for instance, ours used to say "Let's see some sparkle and some fizz" which in *no way* means they're advocating you exceeding the speed limit at any point...

That said, they do want me to get up to speed pretty quickly. According to the book, acceleration should be "brisk and business like" and I'm being told to get up to speed more quickly!

You don't want to be pinging the revs off the limiter, but certainly using a lower gear will help you get on with it a bit more.

Anyone else making their poor old bike scream? I'd have bought an R6 if I'd wanted to scare pedestrians.

On the FZ6 you need to wring its neck a bit to get the best performance and that's a detuned R6 engine.
