| Can safely say the DD brake (singular) is not a patch on the full pfm 6-pot setup I had on my Fireblade, even so I still found myself just knocking it down a gear at the bottom of the rise and then braking just after the crest using the wide entry line to add a little extra braking distance.
I think my top speed on the 583 with 15/41 gearing reving to 9k and a decent taiil wind is no better than 125mph, so if Nick was doing 140mph I may as well be in a different race. |
