If you aren't subscribed do it, the man is a racing legend but to me this shows just how capable a stock bike is

Just watched one of his then saw this thread. The bike is so capable. Every Japanese bike needs a brake upgrade (pads and lines) in my opinion because they dont feel great BUT pull on the lever a little harder and they are just as good as the upgraded stuff.. it's just a personal preference.

I was pleasantly surprised how close I got to his Donington time though!

Some might say that about what engineers charge too :D but it's about what it's cost you and what you've had to do for you to be at the level you can offer that expertise init?
