AWESOME! I wonder what those other riders thought as he scooted around the outside? I wonder if they think they are better riders because they could pass him on the straights...

Isn't there some old adage about "it's not about the size of the dog in the fight.." etc? Well done this guy, you have proved it correct.

i'm fairly certain they know that the guy on the 250 is way better even though they could catch up on the straights.



i love laguna, that's for sure. everyone always talks about how that back straight is more inclined than it looks on tv, and man, are they right! it was like they were climbing a mountain. i love that place

but you have to wonder if that guy would ride a 250 on other tracks? on laguna, it's pretty short and very technical, so i think the 250 would be really a lot of fun there. but on other tracks like miller or road america, i'm not sure i'd have as much fun on a 250 like i would a 600

That was my point. LOL. He is a better rider. Anyone can twist the throttle and hold on in a straight line.

I have fun riding my 400 at Miller. There are 4 different track configurations, and for my the most fun is the East track. The West track is more technical with a nice triple apex corner in it that when you nail it is very satisifying. The perimeter or full track and you fall asleep on that front straight with a smaller bike!
