Standard of novice bikes at track days
Discussion
Good Morning BB
I was at my first motorbike trakday at Knockhill last night on my cbr500r. It was a first-timers ONLY night. I therefore expected a good few folk on slower bikes like my own. Maybe a few people on non-sports bikes, commuter type, or a few GS. Absolutely everyone was there with supersports/litre bikes. There was two panigales for f sake.
Is this the norm in novice groups or did I just get a weird night?
I very much got passed on the straights and held up in the corrners by those finding their feet still. I had read about this in every R7 review and it was frustrating in real life. On a clear track I had loads of fun.
Will be visiting aprillia this weekend to sit on an rs660. Test ride booked on a zx4rr with the demo days but that might not cut it.
