There's more than a few of us that thought DD would be a bit of a soft touch as the lap times don't look much on paper. Once you get out there and try your hardest on your 50-60bhp missile you start to realise how bloody hard the front guys must be pushing these little bikes, on, at best, vague feeling road tyres. Anyone who thinks it's a piece of p*ss and nothing more than a steady trackday with flags is so sadly mistaken it's untrue.
mate, on his 999 he laps slower than Phils 583 on any track based on times i've seen.... that's almost 3x the power..
So joking aside andyb why the attitude towards dd ? Why the constant digs at the lap times ? Surely you should be impressed that a low powered bike on non sticky tyres can go so quick ?
