Reaching the apex of a corner and lighting the wick on 160-180hp, feeling the rear squirming for grip as the front starts to come up....one of motorcyclings true pleasures......

I found the dicing on the little bikes more fun than dicing on the big bikes, because you could be pretty sure that death wasn't around the next corner. I've blasted around taupo on a Hayabusa to the point where it got brake fade bad. It was fun because I was dicing with Leong, but I enjoy a good 600 more, and the CBR250RR is still a blast.

For me the gravy stroke is having my elbow inches off the ground around the corners. Powersliding out of corners is good too, but you can do that on a 600, and you can powerslide and highside a 250 fourstroke... Just ask texmo.

600's aye, this is exciting. Pity I'm still on my lifetime adventure overseas next year. Still I'll see you at the TRRS and endurance race.

Dicing is the key word here, I'm only a clubmans racer, but swapping places with someone, whether it be 1st or last is what makes it RACING

Getting back to the pits and having your hands trembling with adrenaline ......

Bugger... Was hoping it would be kwakka 650's or summit but if i'm highsiding with 50 ponies then a 170mph bike seems like a deathwish to me.

Shaun, I sincerely hope this all works out (I believe with the right backing it will) and it's great to see a top racer putting so much back into the sport.

Umm...I can envisage a glut of used 600 racebikes on trademe very soon.
