    Lap timers

    What does everyone use for lap timing at practice?

    So far my main options seem to be

    1. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...765103.htm?p=1

    2. http://www.aimsports.com/store/produ...products_id=28

    3. http://www.veypor.com/vir.html

    What do others here use, what is availiable (I would rather throw my money in a local direction)

    You could always sell your busa and get an Aprilia - they have them built in. Oh, wait . . . what was your last bike again?

    yes it is for the 636, they have a basic lap timer, but all of the standard electrics have or are being removed.

    Looking for something a bit more, so i can analise laps etc

    Agreed, but have a chat to them anyhow, they might have some prototypes for you to test.

    yes but the last thing on your mind when looking for your braking marker is remembering to hit the laptimer button.

    I have used the AIM system on prior racebikes, and am planning on getting a few more for the new bikes. quick easy to read, storage of past laps, big display. does all I want and the Price is reasonable.

    Agreed, but I'm merely offering alternatives. It all depends on how serious he is getting about it, and he did mention this was for use "at practice".

    Admittedly I'm not racing, but I use a marker on the track for my lap timer where I tend to be accelerating and in between gear changes, so hitting the button isn't an issue. Your laps don't always have to be timed from the start/finish line, particularly during practice I would have thought.

    Or, if he's wanting to hold out until the one Delphinus mentioned comes available, he could just have a trusted member of his pit crew timing him from the sidelines.
