Exit speed and prime RPM buddy. Spinning tires is the only way to exit a turn...AT THE TRACK

ive never had that issue, im talking about the lean angle etc etc. i always take corners gear way to high up.

wheelie and stuff is when i straight line race. spin is hardly ever unless i slip the clutch even a fraction. or its wet.

I take off ramps in 4th gear. Man I can't wait for new tires. I see track time in my future.

I see myself getting a track day in within a year or so. I feel like I keep wanting to push it on back roads and that's not safe at all.

I dunno if I want to get a R6 for the track or just track my R1.

Lean angle isn't the only thing to be concerned about. In fact too much is bad. A huge majority is correct body position and your line more so than lean angle.

Re: Cycle whore thread

I refrain from off ramps at high speed because of all the seams in most of the ones I take. I could see getting to a track, but I have a lot of stuff I should (read: need) to catch up first, but who knows.

Re: Cycle whore thread

The ones that I take a little quick aren't shitty roads. The Bush Gardens exit is damn fun.
