I like the part where you run wide into 2 and what seems like 10 FZRs go by you.... :lol:

I sat & watched your vid and honestly 10 laps of that place only left me dizzy. Must have been a chore to get those 20 corners right. :shock:

The camera flattens it out a lot too. Much more hilly than it looks, with blind entries and exits. 20 turns on paper, but more like 15 as a lot are taken as one. Gotta have confidence in your lines as the blind areas require commitment.
But absolutely loved the track. I know I have a few more seconds to find rather easily.

great video. were you running an fzr600 in that video?

im wondering, as i noticed your bike has a "quite narrow powerband". aftermarket cams maybe?

not to be intrusive, just curious.

Narrow? I was letting revs drop as low as 6000.... One of the things i love about a stockish FZR600.
Torque in the midrange.

I have pods and a kerker pipe with a Factory pro stage 3 jet kit.
Otherwise, i believe she is stock. Dont know 100% as i have never had the cam cover off yet.

it is difficult to judge from the video. almost looked like a two stroke on the pipe! i suppose video is deceiving - it looked like it wasn't pulling hard below 8500-9000rpm, and sang from 9000rpm on up. thx for the response and for a great video.

IT is a bit fat in the midrange right now, but driveability is excellent so i haven't played with it further.
so it does pull very hard above 9000.
