After a full morning session on a warm circuit with soft slicks I could take Coppice flat on the old 996. Took me most of the day to get the bottle, but it could be done. At the last DSC track day there, I was instructing someone and they eventually improved about 3 seconds by building up to it after watching me go through. I very much doubt I'll be able to take it flat on the beast though. She will be hitting the turn a good 10 to 20 mph quicker than the old bike.
I have just got off the phone to JR, and he tells me that on his Rizla bike, it's a VERY heavy braking zone and down from 6th to 3rd.
He thinks on the Duke he was only coming down to 4th. 'kin nutter!
