If we all rent R6 then we will se who is the best racer. Or should I say the fastest rider round the circuit.

If you ride correctly you would be suprised how far you can push it. But if you cross the line you have had it!! :shock:

it cant be that much different from riding on the road cept you dont have trees and lamp posts and u dont have traffic coming the other way!

if u stick to speeds you do on the road then surely youll be fine!

that and the track 's surface is smoother! and the bends are more bendy and tighter!

Simon

well then it should make it easier apart from the bends :?

Tark

The bends are better cos you can take the racing line and use up the whole track where as you have to go slower on the road cos you can only use half of the road unless you want to get hit by an oncoming car!

Spider

good point! but then wouldnt your experiance on the road make it easy! to ride on the track as on the road ull be used to only half the track!

Tark

I kinda get what you mean but not 100% sure.

Just Get on the track and ride without danager of oncoming cars and lap posts and stuff. Just ride as fast as you like and see how it goes!

If I come I will fit a horn and then I wont scare you on my way past! :lol: Sorry!
