    Will be Cadwell next year sometime, not booked yet.
    I will be doing -1f +2r sprocket change before then too, I don't Really need the 206mph+ geared and 100mph first gear of the standard bike lol ;)
    That will give it a top of 186mph and even more accelertion, nice :D
    I will run it in before upgrading the sprockets and chain

    lookong forward to going up against your RR6 ;) will be fun :D

    I was thinking that, would give you a good idea of how much of improvement you're gaining on the new bike too.

    Agree with the sprocket changes especially for such a short circuit, but just make sure it doesn't end up as a wheelie/highside machine :eek:

    well seeing as it has 3 levels of wheelie control and several levels of TC and slide control ,hopefully that wont be such a problem as the blade :eek: but we will soon find out lol :D
