sorry mate. just back to singapore this morning... din see your post till now... hope you had a great time

 

Damn it! Run a 6 laps on PG with my friend's 08'R6... the more i ride, the more i feel like selling away my 749.... Just got to admit, technology wins it! it's 3 secs faster than my duke (with stock worn-out tyres and badly setup suspension somemore).... imagine if it was on racetecs and ohlins? Ohhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Gooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!

The 749 is based on the 999, which is designed back in 2002, somemore Dark model using lower spec parts. The R6 is razor sharp fine tuned several times by Japanese robots since (2003, 2006, now 2008 version), how to compare?

Hey guys, when are either of you going PG again? I'm a newbie and the last time I've been there is back in july last year... looking for kakis hehe. Itching to go back after a crash there... (turn 5 urgh!)

 

Red rocket, I don't know if you remember me but we've spoken several times in the past, I can't remember how long though (maybe longer). I'm Nat, used to ride a 900SS then a multistrada in the past. I remember you used to own a 996 and a wave right? Hope I'm not mistaken?

 

Yup that's right... been a while since I tracked. at PG... since flowers... Will be making a comeback soon... say ... in may?

[fweddy]

nice to see ya red rocket! hope all goes well with the project!

Glad im not mistaken. Been awhile since we last spoke. If you're goin back to PG remember me k? haha... really itching..

 

Yup heard from frens, the news and this forum. Flowers was a real tragedy. Didn't get to meet him but from what i gather it seems i missed out on meeting a great guy.

 

Anyway im sorry if i brought back any sad memories...

Aiyooo... As long as i can cut lap times, i dun even mind if it is a stock exhaust!

are you running on stock suspensions? when I fitted ohlins it cut my lap time by 2~3 sec... without setting them up yet.

 

Good investment to cut lap times

Ya, still running on stock suspension.... Actually it's not the suspension that is hindering me... It's the wheel base... too long...... i can't do anything to the rake angle as well, mine is unadjustable. And the natural characteristic of the "forward rushing" motion of the duke when u try to exit out of the apex fast, becos our pistons are v-twin configure in a forward and backwards motion... Thats why front wheels tends to "drift out". Ican't go any lower than 1.47secs..... thats it for me on this bike. But the R6 that day had me cutting down to 1.44secs in a hottest lap. Too big gap!

On Sat, i was suppose to go PG again to test on another of my friend's 08CBR600... But too bad last minute, we got something on! if not i think the honda will perform even better!
