Since when did a standard 996 ever do 160?

And on the short run from Barn? 100 max would be my estimate.

Course if you had been there on Sunday on your "so called" Green Missile, you would have seen just how NOT to take the following corner!

Not there my but cheeks!

I slipped under the Yeti radar undetected, even at one time inspecting the wreckage.

As for the missile from the land rising sun, it will make an appearance at a more appropriate time.

Beware Yeti, i'm on ya.

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!

John exiting barn correctlyand then with a down hill run, you should be able to reach 130 I would have thought on a std 996. but wasn't yours a 'S' with the old sps motor. Thats got to be worth another 5 ish mph. And you took it flat out.

Myself I always ease off the throttle, stroke the brake lever for comfort. Turn the bike and then power through the turn.
