    I knew this guy who had zzr1200 and rode it like miguel duhammel rides a 600rr track bike. He wighed in at 150 lbs sopping wet, but he made that bike sing. so much I lent him my 954 at a track day just to see him on something with real capabilities.
    **I think their is something to be said about hustling heavier bikes around than their race breed counterparts. I seem to be able to go faster on my VFR than my CBR954 and my RVF(with it's $1,500 suspension). I will have to wait for a track day to test out these theories I suppose. I think that heavier bikes give more of a planted feel and seem to "recover" from upsets more nuturally allowing for more spirited riding. But then again this hypothesis could just only pertain to me..........:noidea:

    I guess what is so amazing is how smooth and fluid the guy is.
    He wasn't using his brakes much at all..
