On sat i got a chance to finally try this thing out on track.
Got a fresh set of slicks put on SC1 front and SC2 rear.
I didn't get a chance to get the suspension fettled with so just ran it with the same street setup i had and its still pretty damn impressive.
I hadn't been to Broadford in about 3 years so was riding like a bitch for the first few sessions.
Had a blast though and Marshy your right these Vesrah pads are just stupidly good, along with the Brembo 19x18 MC i can brake so so much later than on my old fireblade its amazing.
By the end of the day i was still 2 secs off my PB there but with some more saddle time and confidence in the bike and most importantly growing a set of balls i hope to get faster than i was on the blade.
I had a few electrical gremlins with the bike cutting out on the front and back straights 2 times leaving me to run off track out of the way and try to get it restarted. Will have to get that sorted before the next day as i don't want the engine shutting off mid corner.
I found i'm really struggling to get my BP correct on this bike and really use up all the lean angle it offers. On the Blade i would touch down the knee easily and use that as a guide....this thing just seems to have infinite lean angle and i struggle to get my knee down and know how much lower i can go. Again something i need to get used to.
Cant wait to get out there again though this bike is FUN
Here are some snaps from the first 2 sessions when i was riding pretty slow and careful just feeling out the bike.
