too many cylinders for it to be his.

[fil2]

I like that

[KungFooBob]

I likes those top fork adjusters!

What are the cam shaped things attached to the forks under the top toke, lock stops?

That's sensibly priced

[fil2]

That's sensibly priced

Not so sure based on soooo many on ebay right now with close spec...…….I would be interested by at £12.5k no way.

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

They're not that scary.

You have to remember, you're both a lot faster and a lot more experienced at going faster than most. What's not scary to you is a death weapon to 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.

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)

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 ?
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

That scares the shit out of me, I don't like going fast.
I like bends (and jumps if I'm offroad) but that just looks like something that would be way faster than I want to go on the straights.

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.

I know what you mean, I've had tunnel vision on some of these new bikes when I've tried them, the road seems to narrow into a single-track path and everything to either side is just a dark blur.

I buggered my ears and sinuses up free diving and I get dizzy/vertigo quite often, especially if I'm leaning over on a bike and going fast, so it just makes it worse.

I'd rather race a 500 single or a small two stroke and have fun using momentum and corner speed.
I'm really not a fan of outright speed and although I've had my day at it when I was younger these days I'm not interested in much over 100mph.

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.

Hopefully that explains what I mean.
