dogstar..............lol i was going to ask the same thing but that might be salt in open wounds..........

 

Not really. He said he was going to dust him and have the convo later. Hes ok, and the bike is fixable, so we can talk about it. I wonder if he slipped tryingto get in that 600. Rick, we love you bro, but who was winning??????

 

true true, so i have to admit, im curious too.............................................

 

A 600 is less work to go fast on. That is the point....they are lighter, the resiprocating mass is less and yes, easier to flip side to side and they are more forgiving on the throttle. Simple as that. As said though, I can stomp on most of the stuff at the track but the top 6-7 "expert" class racers on 600s can get well under my times at the track. Their ***** are much larger than mine when it comes to braking into the corners. It comes down to riders......I like taking the 1000 because I can be lazy and ride in one gear around almost all of the track except for the straight and focus on actually RIDING instead of fussing with gear selection.
The 954 would be a fine track bike but it too can be whipped by a good rider on a 600. If you're slow..well, you're slow no matter what you're on.

 

Oh man will some please finish the story, I knew this would happen[sm=badidea.gif], hope your OK, but that ought to teach you, no checkered flags on the road, hope your contingency sponsors pay good, really who was winning, remember ther are two type of riders, Those who have been down, and those who are goin, better luck next time
