When I was at Willow with a bunch of other guys from the board last month my wife timed me around the streets course and I was cutting low 1:40's. Just found the 99 issue of sport rider with the bike of the year article and they were cutting 1:13's on the R6. I've got a long ways to go.
Holy Crap! Don't worry man, yah that's alot but you'll get there. ....ok...maybe not 13's, but with just a little time, you'll be down to 1:28-1:30's easy.
depending who the rider was in the test .. don't feel bad. but also be sure you are comparing the same track (big willow versus streets) and then make sure if it was streets you are comparing the same course since it is configurable.
Yeah, the rider was Mr. Sportbike Editor himself, Kent Kunitsumpthin, and it was the same course we ran, I guess it would be the "full" course from skidpad up and over to the bowl, then back down through the mini chicane. Not the same course they were using to time the bikes for their upcoming twins test (they were there during the trackday). I'm not too worried, first time on that track, first trackday period, no race classes yet, and I OWN the bike, so I don't really wanna put it off in the dirt; or the asphalt for that matter.
Good to get your times to see your own improvement, but yah, don't be worrying about comparing against others yet. I'm sure that's the case, you were just making it fun.
First time on the track and you didn't crash...you are doing better than alot of people. :|
BTW....always wanted to ask, what the heck is that sig all about??
Wow, I'm slow...
I'm sure that's the case, you were just making it fun.
