      Sounds like fun. You want a "focus moment" try that on a bike...on the track please..

      I have some pretty good track training (and multiple season as race winning motorcycle road racer) and my wife and I have become friends with Kieth Code and the folks at his California Superbike School. So at the end of my 4th level of training with him on track, he followed me for a number of hot sessions around Virginia International Raceway. I was feeling good and he said he'd trail me and critique so I went on track and gave it the berries (so to speak).

      So for multiple track sessions I was allowed full effort riding...this means a race prepped Kawasaki ZX6RR going flat out on the track...to the limit. It is an interesting moment when you have to take a bike that is going roughly 170 mph (6th gear flat out on the rev limiter) and then haul it down to around 50 mph or less for turn one. I'm not sure if you can imagine scrubbing off over 120 mph as you approach the end of a straight away with a fairly tight right hand corner coming up! I mean if you only scrub off 110 mph, you're going 10 mph too fast to make the corner...it's tough to gauge to say the least.

      My race bike only tops out at about 120 mph, but it's geared that way because of the tight track I ran in New Hampshire.

      I've gone almost as fast in race cars, but it is totally different on a bike! The steering becomes very, very stiff above 150 mph and the wind buffeting and noise are amazing. A car doesn't steer any differently at speed, but a bike becomes very hard to turn..you really have to muscle it and not influence the chassis the wrong way.

      I'm addicted, that's for sure!

      Great car! I'd love to see and hear it sometime.

      Cheers,

                Jason,

                Its good to see that we plenty of car nuts here on the forum. I'm gradually going off sports cars but at the same time want something that will offer an enjoyable driving experience. I am waiting patiently for the Venture One now named the Persu Hybrid http://www.flytheroad.com/ . It will be the ideal runaround for me AND offer lots of fun at the same time, not to forget easy to park ๐Ÿ‘

                Mike

                    Not a picture of mine as mine is black (second one, first one met a ditch, tree, and a fence up close). I just added long headers, air intake, and had the computer remapped. Thank god for lower priced gas as I get to drive it more now. Rough numbers are about 525-550hp. It pretty much kills most things it comes next to but if I get another ticket my wife will kill me.
