Would love to hear more about it from a regular guy, it really is new to most of us that race as far as actually riding it or even seeing one on track.

make sure you adjust the windscreen and set the suspension to "sport"


just kidding

Rode it today. It`s in enduro trim, soft suspension and a BIG silencer but to me, I really liked the geometry of the bike. Hers a pick...

so panic revving is outa the question if you come up short? I understand that the single swingarm pivot/countershaft arrangement doesn't stiffen up the suspension like we are use to. Sounds scary.

Yeah, Didnt you know that panic revving magically thickens your shock fluid and stiffens your shock spring? Magic I tell you.

thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. you rev the bike when youre going to be short to make the bike drive forward when it hits as opposed to coming to a dead stop.
