Re: Swanny's new ride: 2003 Kawasaki ZX6RR
Couple from this weekend's "practice" at Dakota County Technical College. This is a parking lot of sorts/a training location for vehicles and motorcycles, the "speed limit" is 50mph.
Ryan (mustgofaster) timed me and another racer (told me on the ride home), both of us were running 1.19-1.20's on the 1 mile course. Not bad considering the no passing but on the straights area. Again, not a race, just a practice.
I've got some body position things to work on, but not bad for a rust shakoff session.
The lower body seems good, that was my worry with the near rear sets. It sounds weird, but I couldn't bring myself to trust the pavement conditions, which was probably contributing to me not getting over and the lower body down enough; even though that would allow me to stand the bike up more...
Always interested in feedback.
