    Entered the modern classics with hottrax I only manage to do Mallory the last one October so ill see how it goes . Not timed but friend said I was around 6-7 seconds quicker on the blade . I struggled with r6 at first no quickshifter but found a rhythm with it and was dicing with the thous . The blade will pull out of corners in 3rd not really lose much time but not with the 6 bit cracking day . Loads and loads of traffic groups of people

    Nice one, the modern classics should be a good class to enter into for the first year. With the gear shifting, have you tried a race shift pattern on it? It is much smoother and although it doesn't mean a quickshifter is redundant, it is certainly leagues ahead of a road shift. Although you have the advantage of torque on the Blade, the R6 can brake later and get on the gas sooner. Keep us posted with it and good luck.
