Re: 2019 Suzuki GSXR 1000 Hawk Racing Built 2020 Bemsee Championship Winning Bike
I was comparing it with the cost of classic race bikes, I haven't looked at GSXR1000s, there's no way I could get that anywhere near it's potential

You have to remember, you're both a lot faster and a lot more experienced at going faster than most.

When i ride MTB i do some trails at a reasonable speed, a speed that would see all but maybe 1-2 on here lying on the floor in pain if trying to match me down them, that doesn't mean they're 'safe' trails, just that i'm a better MTBer than most.

Re: 2019 Suzuki GSXR 1000 Hawk Racing Built 2020 Bemsee Championship Winning Bike
I'm experienced but I'm still slow, though I don't think I'd find that GSXR scary, I'd have a great time on it, but I'd find it frustrating not being able to get anywhere near the limits of the bike, the great thing about 30+ year old bikes on track is that I can fell like I'm getting near their limits (I'm not as there's no way I could keep up with Terry Rymer on his 1985 FZ750, and he really wasn't trying)weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 10:18 amYou have to remember, you're both a lot faster and a lot more experienced at going faster than most.

Surely you may as well just buy the gsxr then as it will be the same sort of thing, as in trying to get to the bikes limits ?Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 10:45 amI'm experienced but I'm still slow, though I don't think I'd find that GSXR scary, I'd have a great time on it, but I'd find it frustrating not being able to get anywhere near the limits of the bike, the great thing about 30+ year old bikes on track is that I can fell like I'm getting near their limits (I'm not as there's no way I could keep up with Terry Rymer on his 1985 FZ750, and he really wasn't trying)weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 10:18 amYou have to remember, you're both a lot faster and a lot more experienced at going faster than most.

Don't really get the trying to get to the bikes limits thing, (unless you are a full pro racer), why would you want to put yourself in more danger riding a bike at its limits, I'd rather ride to with in my limits not the bikes, most track bikes are way more capable than 90% of the people that use them

I've said this many times probably but the time i rode Fil2s 1199 Panigale in Germany near the Ring was just mind blowing in terms of speed, i've ridden fast bikes, i've ridden great bikes, but i got on the 1199 and it just destroyed the planet, i couldn't focus or keep up with the speed the thing took off at, it left me a gibbering shaking wreck after about 10 miles on it, i could barely speak.

Re: 2019 Suzuki GSXR 1000 Hawk Racing Built 2020 Bemsee Championship Winning Bike
I suppose it depends on what you want, I enjoy ringing the neck out of my FZR400, I know I'm not near it's limits cornering wise but I am using all the power, I had an early R1 over 20 years ago and I found it a little frustrating as in trying to use the power I was arriving at the corners far too fast and making a mess of the corner, it was great fun, that massive surge of acceleration really does take some beating, but I couldn't make a race track flow with the R1, I replaced it with a GSXR400 which was a much easier bike to ride on track, and I was definitely quicker round corners on the 400.Rp1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 11:30 am Surely you may as well just buy the gsxr then as it will be the same sort of thing, as in trying to get to the bikes limits ?

Hopefully that explains what I mean.

Re: 2019 Suzuki GSXR 1000 Hawk Racing Built 2020 Bemsee Championship Winning Bike
Nice toy.
On a trackday with something like that,there's always going to be the expectation from others that you need to do the bike justice. If you are happy enough in yourself just to enjoy the thing for what it is and at your own level,that's a cool thing,but sadly a rare thing.
To many folk worry what others say and are terrified of the 'all the gear and no idea' tag. At the end of the day,if you splashed the cash on anything,you don't owe it to anyone else how you use it.
