2-in-1 Yoshimura exhaust + removing the airbox lid + K&N air filter =

Upshift, Outstanding Choice!

That thing will make a great track bike, and it'll be good for commuting too. That will teach you EVERYTHING about corner speed, and you will have an absolute BLAST riding rings around guys on 1k's on the track.

That is about the perfect beginner track bike, have fun!

Good shot. I say you take off the bodywork, put on some dirt bike bars and chop the muffler.

good bike mane i know you been waiting a long time congrats

upshift · 05-10-2008, 11:52 PM

Thanks all for the congrats

I finally got to actually ride it today (rained the day I got it and got sick yesterday). Man its a different beast than my dirtbike. I almost dropped it the first time I tried to turn it around in the parking lot cus...well I didnt know it wanted to ram intself into the ground while turning

I now know what the term counter steer actually means. As I was riding it today I finally got a feel for the turning and the other newb stuff. I only got a chance to take it around the neighborhood about 20 times but Ill tell you something, I have found my new love

One question tho...why do some bikes dip toward the ground at slow speeds while others, mainly FT's Hyosung 250, do not. I have ridden his and it rides like my dirtbike. Kinda weird.

Probably not an actually physical tendency as much as a perceived tendency due to the clip-on style bars having less leverage than the wider dirt bike inspired bars on the 250.

Thats what I was thinking but I think my bars are actually wider than his which makes no sense to me. My dirtbike doesnt do that at all. Maybe it just depends on the positioning/weight of the bike cus Adam said his old R6 did it and also his old Katana. Just takes a little getting used to.
