Yep yep, she was there last August on Friday night along with her sister the KTM950 Supermoto. Of course you know which one had faster lap times, the CRF.

The little one lung fourfifty will only do 99 MPH (GPS reading), but she kills the turns. I am dragging peg and knee like crazy in right hander turn three and killing around the bottom of NASCAR 3 and 4.

She is a blast at Barber as well. I kinda got in trouble with the Rider coach last time at Barber for passing sport bikes on the outside in several turns.

You really have to be on your game riding one of these with sportbike riders of equal riding skill as yourself or you will run all over them entering a turn, because you hardly use any breaks on this sucker and dive way later into turns than a sportbike rider of equal riding skill.

If i get her back out on the street i will let you throw a leg over her, she is easy to ride and will make you want to get rid of your sport bike.

I almost killed my self following one into turn 1 at beaver. I passed him on the straight, then he repassed me going into one. Was a clean pass but I was like you sneaky bastid so I tried following him through the turn and quickly realized this isnt going to work not realy sure how I amde the turn or soiled my underwear but I learned not to follow motards through turns

Yea, when i get her out on the street i tell my buddies to not judge their turn entry speeds based on my speed as i enter turns waaayyyyyyy faster on a motard than i do on my sport bikes.

I know what you mean on the striaghts at track days, the sportbikes get you about midway down the striaght and you have to line up a bike or so to their right or left entering the turn as it is like they threw out a parachute when they hit their braking point and you are still WFO. It can be a little scary, but inside the helmet its fun as hell passing sportbikes in a turn on a dirt bike draggin peg and knee. They know you are there cause the sucker has a pretty healthy breath if you know what i mean.

I have had a few battles with motards on the somewhat smaller tracks I will overtake em on the straights and they would catch me a few turns later. on the larger tracks like summit they just cant compete with the longer straightaway.

Great - I wonder how many bikes will get chucked due to consciously trying to 'go for a 5' (just like I've seen happen a few times when someone is making a goal of 'getting a knee down').

That takes some confidence & endurance! (assuming you're not talking about just nss - but still, riding home after a trackday... whew!)
