    I think I see your problem, the bike is leaning to the right...

    I'm guessing you're missing your commuter bike cos you've stuck headlight stickers on it

    Heck you better hurry and tell Mark Marquez, Jorge and Dani. And that you will send your mate over there who is perpetuating such fantasies. It started off at 1.5 seconds per lap, now its 2, any bets on 3?
    Can anything be done to reduce the climb rate of an F16 to 10000 feet by a couple of seconds?

    You know its always amazing the brazen BS that is espoused from other corners. Glenn of course was being humorous and cynical and enjoys a good laugh, good on him for that! But 2 seconds a lap as a marketing ploy? Yeah right, thats a Tui moment.

    Jaden Hassan at the last round of the NZ champs was repeatedly under the lap record because the overall setup was really dialed on that weekend, and he loves that track. He was doing as I best recall 1.31 close to. So by fitting the other brand ( and there are more than two brands I hasten to add ) he would have instantly been doing 1.29s and running near the front in Superbikes, and in front of a K-tech equipped 1000 that performed very averagely that weekend?

    The pommy brand is an excellent brand but its still totally dependent on setup. If youve got a bike with badly set up Ohlins or WP or whatever suspension and you instal another brand and spend time in optimising it then of course it may well lap faster than the brand you removed that you made no effort to optimise to make it a totally plausible comparison.

    Its just as laughable when people go tyre testing and make absolutely no complimentary adjustments to machine setup to suit the different characteristics of different brands and compounds of tyres. Different tyre brands and specifications change the ''energy'' fed into the suspension and chassis so require differing setups.

    So how can any comparison testing be totally scientific unless all of the varying brands of product are optimised??????????????????????
