    About 1 hour. I think it was about £40. But it was 2 years ago. I am going again this summer.

    Very professional. The personal are intelligent. The sit you on the bike and take measurements etc. The working area is spotless . I think they work or have worked with professional racers.

    Taking the bike to a shop is great but I've always found the people at the track days to be best as you pay for their service throughout the day.

    They will set it up then you go back to them explaining how it feels and they adjust it throughout the day till it feels perfect for you.

    It's fine setting it for your weight but doesn't mean the bike will perform how you want it because it is set at this level.

    Agree to a point, but setting it up for track work and expecting it to work on the road isn't going to work.

    Another vote for Reactive Suspension. Gareth Evans worked with a lot of BSB teams, including Honda Britain. Spot on.
