    you do realise that corsa's+ractecs are essentially the same tyre? unless you mean shit due to then being worn out?

    bike looks spot on by the way.

    Yes Rab, hence my previous post.


    Never heard anyone with a bad word to say against Supercorsa's as they are just as good as Racetec's only real diff being brand allegiance.

    I have one of these for track and agree that is feels a lot heavier than the blade but only 7kg difference as stock than the blade and remove the big horrible cat on the bmw and bet there's not much in it.

    Certainly not as easy to ride on track to the blade but my laptimes are very similar and I do expect to be a lot quicker on the bmw after a bit of time , I really could tell when I raced the bmw at Cadwell in august I was fecked with about 4 laps to go where in April I raced the blade at Cadwell and had no problems with the 12 laps.:eek:

    I think my main problem is I need to get the suspension set up better as Scooby on here will tell you no easy task but that said still an awesome bike and I like the challenge .:D
