Rumours are beginning to build of a 1498 engine with "Forced Induction". How true? I dunno but watch vid 2.

Hows the R1?
Crap vids. Well Kwaka have been plugging it for years in MCN about turbo charged 600.
Makes sense I guess. Hopefully it'll be a bit better than the one posted in Loon's trackday thread.
Aye, not bad. Panels are away getting painted then i think i'm going to move it on and buy a track bike.Crap vids. Well Kwaka have been plugging it for years in MCN about turbo charged 600.

Wheres the photos of it, that's you and 13aines that have crashed and no pictures.
13aines doesn't even post on here now, I think he's lying low.
You can't dish out the dizzy highs.....
DavieGLA wrote after his first track day
Had a belter of a day. To summarise:
1. Soaked on the way up, nearly went home
2. Got to the track and it started drying
3. was at safety briefing, didn't hear a word of it other than "own risk", "you might die", "medical centre"
4. First session out, lap 3 and someone falls off. knockhill decided to make us lose that session - pretty pissed off but hope crash guy is OK.
5. 2nd Session - got cocky and went for a bit of cross country action at duffus. R1's don't work on grass but didn't fall off.
6. Learned lines, gears and braking points. Overtook everything apart from 1 or two. Braked faded very quickly
7. 3rd session - game on. overtook absolutely everything apart from one guy, locked rear wheel into hairpin, knee down onto the main straight. Celebrated my awesomeness.
All in all a fantastic day but the classes seem a bit messed up. There were folk far to slow to be on the track on dedicated track bikes and there were folk on the track that need to calm the fk down.
Next time i think i'm going to ditch the bib and go into inters. I honestly felt i was being held up by most.
But man - how addictive! No better feeling that getting that last corner right and nailing in down the straight at 130 on one wheel. Magic.
and then not dish out the lows.......
I've had to send my video footage away of my crash to get it "saved, fixed" by someone who knows what there doing. It was rather embarrassing but I will still share it.
Now come on.
rough with the smooth.
