for me there is nothing i need to do to the bike. im at, for arguments sake, 80% of its potential maybe you are at 95% of yours.
but everyone out there can cut their times still considerably i would say even someone like you. if you spent a day at snett really sorting your technique out what would you drop. 1 maybe 2 seconds? not saying there is anything wrong with your riding but you know what i mean.
its funny at the start of the season everyone was saying "no the best rider will win no matter what bike they are on" now we are out there it seems to be a different story.
what would be really good would be to get some dyno charts and compare them. i've no idea what mine is chucking out. could be 70 bhp for all i know!
hope not......means im even worse than i thought! |
its an interesting debate and one that wil lnever be drawn to a satisfactoy conclusion for all but its good that we can discuss it with good intentions...
I agree with you that a day at snetterton or any track will greatly improve lap times for any1 and that i have alot more to learn and if a better rider rode my bike he would lap in a time way better than mine but i dont believe as good as if he was on a bike producing 11bhp more.
