    I have never been on a track (though I'd like to), but its a fun little bike for sure.

    While it handles really well Its a bit of work up and down the gear box to keep it in the power band. Under 7000 rpm its a total dog. (more than most 2 strokes, nature of the beast), then the power valves activate and its like being strapped to a missile. Its an On/Off switch, all or nothing. It will pull 160km/hr in 3rd gear with no trouble, not sure why 4th, 5th and 6th are there.

    Obviously just needed something to take up the extra space in the gearbox
