I just got home from my first track day on my lightning. I had a freakin blast. I think it definitly raised some brows. I am usually on my R1 or R6 but I just had to get this thing on the track. I went to Heartland Park Topeka for the Tucker Rocky track day for dealers. I was "Control Riding" but often found myself wondering away from the pack. Obviously the big bikes had no problem getting around me on the straights but Id just get em back in the corners. How does it compare?? Stock for stock, there is no comparison for the handling. The buell handles phenominally. I was mixing it up with a couple guys that I race with, one being on a GSXR1000, fully race prepped. He would smoke me on the straights and Id be all over him in the corners. He could not believe it. With some suspension on this thing it would be untouchable at that track. Just need more power. I love it, if I could get a dealer to give me one to race, Id love to add one to the team. Anyone know of anyone?? J/K. Im still going to Arkansas this weekend if anyones going to be out. | ||

Yeah, I have heard nothing but great things about that 1125. I met the sales manager of Silver Eagle HD last weekend at the races in MAM. He just finished the demo at RA and was telling me about how awesome that bike was. When I bought my Buell, I was just looking for something to get around town on. The more I ride it, the more I wanna race one. Cochise - I am not sure exactly where we are staying yet. There is a group of us, about 6 or 7 coming from KC. I am pretty sure we are staying in Eureka again and Im not sure what roads we will be riding yet but Ill drop you a line with more details. |
