    (I should be careful though, that CRF 450 looks tempting.)

    I tried watching it, got bored watching a line of cars not passing or anything and got sidetracked with bike stuff. Got in background now. That tire thing is a bit crap though, eh? They're that fragile they can't even dive over the curbing! Next thing they'll cut out the corners and just use the straight!

    Yeah, true. I got to drive around in a hot skirted XR8 last summer. Must admit, it wasn't an unpleasant experience but I can only imagine how much better one of these track ones is (with a manual gearbox!). I wouldn't want one as low in the long term though, I like my ground clearance!

    Adds

    Had to take my 4wd on gravel road run with bikes up north after injured myself earlier this year. it was choice fun, comfortable seat, one arm out window, and big grins for effort factor, an excellent retirement plan

    Done a few track days in cars and if you compare with a bike you notice the low fear factor and the big slides you can do without much stress.
