I would expect it to perform as well as any G1-G6 on the track, very capable and fun. It does not meet those expectations apparently
We got your trackbikes and we got your trackbikes and then apparently we got your racebikes too. A trackbike is one that maybe once every couple of months is ridden or take to a local track so the rider can follow a guy on a racebike around the track. This makes it sound like anybody with a track bike is a real racer. I know one guy who is on that racebike who races a Honda 165. Not much on the straights but he rides the nell out of it in the corners. There might be a few dudes who have Harley Fatboys for track bikes but I will leave that to speculation. BTW I have never seen a VFR win a race with the exception of a dragrace with a fat boy on another VFR. Now there is a conundrum to chew on..LOL
Like Vince Lombardi once said, "Coming in second is like kissing your sister." How badly was the VFR whupped by the guy on the 165? Dude. Lets face it, all those "classes" are mostly political and have little to do with anything but money. The real racers just shake thier heads at all the BS. This extends to cars as well as bikes. ...and since you beg to differ, I stated "win." Should I edit what I stated to fit your story? LOL
