looks good mate, what sort of speeds do you reach when racing????

[Nova-Boy]

Depends on how big the longest straight is. You change the back sprocket so your just hitting the redline in 6th down the back straight. That way you know the gearing is right for the track. Mostly the straights are short (500m for example) so the gearing is for acelleration. Like 0-60 in 3 seconds.

Not trying to avoid the question but you dont have a speedo on the bikes. Only rev counter/revlight and temperature guage.

I would love to say cos i would like to know myself. I will tell you one thing though, It feels Fast!!

An avarage speed round some tracks is about 80mph which included a hairpin that you go round at the speed of a milk float! So the top speed will be about 150mph? Its only a 600. :roll:

Been on holiday Yesterday so wasn't online. Thanks for the Comments!

SlimJim. Yeah my nova is a bit easier to handle the speed and power!

CP. I wouldn't go as far as saying double hard! Although have fallen off at over 100mph and walked away

(only crying cos i wrote off my bike. Nothing to do with it hurting like fcuk!)

[Benjoyce]

it don't hurt when you get up does it, i find it hurts when you sit down and leave it for a couple of minutes! i've fallen off loads at about 60-70mph on my scramblers, but ''touch wood'' i've not fallen off my bandit or r6 yet

[Nova-Boy]

I highsided my CBR comming onto the Start/finish straigh at Donnington trying to get out of the corner infront of an R6!! Cost me ?1000 to reapir everything that i smashed! :cry:

[Benjoyce]

its always nice when you do that!! thats why i like motorcross, its cheaper to repair things!!
