... then the greatest possible performance is sought, at the sacrifice of efficiency & longevity. If the owner wanted to use it as a conventional road bike, then it shouldn't have been supplied with the race ECU. If he wanted it as a race bike, then (sadly) race bike engines tend to have a predisposition ...

... expensive so I'm prepared to have it done to see if I benefit from it. The stock suspension is stiff at the rear. I can get bounced around on the road which makes me back off. The guy at Parkitt adjusted it which improved things but he reckons they're not designed for the road as well as the zx6r ...

The last time I watched you catching me up (in the mirrors), I nearly arse ended a car!

Having looked at his position on the road, I can confirm he's in the wrong position to have the best view around the hedge!!

2016 ZX10R is going to be a real weapon at the TT, NW200 & Ulster GP and I can see Kawasaki having a very good season in 2016 Road Racing.

Hugely talented road racing rising star Peter Hickman will campaign the 2016 ZX10R Superbike at the 2016 Isle of Man TT races (y) http://www.iomtt.com/News/2015/November/17/Hickman.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

From what I'm told he knows the road. He's blaming the accident on gravel. Well if he knows the road what's he doing at that speed and where's his road positioning for it?

And if you find and R1 to test ride you will probably be the first in the country...even more so now they are all off the road.

... in particular, St Marks, but we as bikers are not generally top of the pile for sticking to speed limits. Its very easy to be critical of other road users, and I have to say bikers are probably some of the worst in this respect probably due to our vulnerability, but we are far from whiter than ...

Looks like Darwins theory in action. IMO the muppet doesn't deserve to be on the road riding like that.; If there had been a kid or pet walking along the verge or coming out of the house on the left he could have killed them before he'd even registered that they ...

That's a public road, not a bloody racetrack. Let's hope his time in hospital will help him reflect on how much worse it could have been.

Does the bend really tighten up I can't see on my tiny phone screen if it is tight or not and didn't notice any chevrons or other warning signs or road markings. Clearly he was going to fast and not reading the road or riding to the conditions but maybe he just bottled it as he was taken by surprise.

Rewatched and to be honest he was clearly going far too fast for the road conditions and place (looks like houses around the area) bend was far too sharp junction on that bend, hmmm wouldn't be posting that yo on FB in my honest opinion

No sympathy here.

Too fast on an unknown road by the looks of it, fingers crossed the rider is still with us.

Hope so too, unbelievable what some people think is a laugh, if they carry on doing it I hope they get caught in the act by some big boxer type bloke and he can show them exactly how much a laugh it is to hurt people

Rossgo bikes with modern electronics and big power can be used on the road and track admittedly not like Rossi but you can rag the arse of them

I think your probably right Rossgo and I definitely hope your right before someone gets hurt.
