What bike have you ridden to the limit of it's performance?

[Skub]

When you think you're 10% and realise you're not even remotely close.



Canepa, he's no alien. But watching this video destroying a fast group, well, it's just daft

He makes that look like a video game.

To put it into perspective. I'd lap 90% of the folk on here at Cadwell within 4 or 5 laps.

The BSB lads would lap me within 5 or 6 laps.

Cadwell lap record, somewhere around 1:26 iirc.

I reckon anyone with half an idea can do early 50's, late 40's on a road 600/1000.

A trackday instructor on a GSXR1000, early 1:40's late 1:30's?

Low 2 mins for novices.

I would lap a first timer in 2 laps.

[KungFooBob]

I could do 1:58's on a 1976 RD250 and I'm far from quick.

[Yorick]

I could do 1:58's on a 1978 RD250 and I'm far from quick.

Yeah, but you've raced and learned to push hard.

[KungFooBob]

LOL, you've not seen me racing then.

That's very very optimistic.

Watch couchies vid on his RE, he was 2 mins flat and destroyed the novice group.

2:30-40 I'm saying

Really?

The RE was a good 40-50bhp RWBHP, he should have been under 2 mins.

I was being polite

But it does prove my point.

[Yorick]

We weren't allowed to go play in the novice group coz of the massive speed differential.

[Screwdriver]

10% my arse. You wouldn't get within 10% of a decent club racer.

….and how on earth could you possibly know that?

When I was racing, I would be top three usually. Buy that is not my claim anyway. I am saying I keep 10% of my personal limit in reserve.

Thats enough to piss all over a fat old has been (for example) but of course nowhere near the current crop of club racers as I admit somewhat at length above.

To be fair, a first timer might not really know where the best line is.

I think you may be surprised at what your average fast group fat bloke does nowadays with 200bhp and electronic assistance

Us fat bloke don't need leccy toys.
The beer belly is an anti wheelie device.
And we have more weight on rear tyre for grip.

[KungFooBob]

I still worried that some people take 2:30/40 to lap Cadwell!

You could jog it faster than that!

I'd bet you I'd be round that if I were out. One time at Pembrey I think Yin was timing us lot

1;15-20 was about the inters average of then TRC.

Maybe he'll remember a few novice riders times
