Practicing and continuing to slowly progress….
Thought I’d share pics of my own going war with my beloved beast…
A little bit of history, I’m going from 5 years riding experience (all street no track)
1st bike 85 honda vfr 500 interceptor
2nd bike 85 honda vfr 750 interceptor
3rd bike 01 kawi zx7rr (took first fall/highside on this one)
And current 2008 hayabusa my ultimate love… since july 2008 and 7000kms and just getting use to it.
So I continue to fight this beast as it is unlike anything I’ve ever owned yet or even rode in general….physically and rideability wise its just flat out huge… mind you all my bikes have been very stable bikes, and yes this bike is beyond stable, just very large….
I’m more of a road race twisties type of rider, over the dumped/, stretched with a wider rear tire than my vehicle…. As I have also a past in road racing vehicles as well. I wont lie since the one and only fall with my zx7 which was a high side I’ve always been working on my confidence back when coming into higher speed turns…. When I finally built this confidence it became another world to combine that confidence with now developing a confidence of trying to bring a bike that is 100 pounds heavier than anything I’ve ridin.
I will be taking a road race course next season to help develop my confidence but… until then take a peek at my form and progression pics within a couple weeks…
Any advice?... I’m going in my turns depending on the turns/ramps about 75/80kms/hr…. trying to go in from the outside take my line inside to wards end of 2nd quarter then back out 3rd quarter to come slowly back straight through last quarter to finish the line and boggie…. Let me guess, go in a little hotter around 90/hr hold it steady throughout and at that speed should get it down easier? That’s the hardest part coming in that hot which really isn’t that hot if you got the confidence and control….
Macon? Holla at one of your fans!!! hahaha, I want to be touched with your skill!!!!
oh also planning on picking up the pirelli super corsa sp's for next season
