1198 another time maybe. It made the start finish at Oulton seem to be about 10 meters long.

easy transition tho? Is it as simple as adjusting braking points and being slightly less ham fisted on exit? has Toni have the stopwatch out yet...intrigued as to how much quicker you will be on the 996

No times as yet. The 996 is heavier, taller and takes more effort to steer but is way more planted than the 620. It does spin the rear up if yer not careful and will go light on the front very easily. This is off set a little with better suspension and supercorsa SC1/2tyres. All that in hand it is as I said earlier like the 620x2 and on steroids.

Yep, providing there is someone to race against.

Mike will be in there on his 853, and I'm sure a few other superbike/cup fellas to keep you honest and Craig keeps threatening his 996 with an outing
