not to try this with ur PC3 or what ever tunning equipment onboard your RR5

 

but.....heres the HRC data FI Map

 

http://www.honda.co.jp/HRC/tech/cbr_fi_ig.pdf

 

ok....u may need japs font to view the doc.

 

but...Hell...at 100% throttle...our engine can rev till 18K RPM? my god.....

 

but..the interesting thing is...the "+%" only start at 6.9K RPM...

 

which means...it still a little LAMB when below 6.9K RPM & a BiG bad wolf after that?.....

say....if u want to go track...but dun want to invest in a proper track suit.

 

But dun want to risk rubbing knee(if any).....would u consider spending S$150 for a knee guard?

 

The Field Armor Leg guards are the missing link in the street riders bag of tricks

Form fitting construction with a chassis of impact absorbing foam and molded plastic that’s sleek enough to wear under most denim jeans

Designed to take the hit, so your legs don’t have to

Breathable mesh chassis

Impact absorbing plastic

Impact dispersing molded foam

Form-fitting chassis stays in place

Multiple stretch adjustment straps

Abrasion resistant slider panels

Low-profile to fit under jeans

 

*just gathering info......unless can fit locally la.(oh...inline skate type dun intro hor)

 

from the looks, its like for protection purposes onli and not for knee scraping, coz i dun see the knee pads. plus it sez "for wearing underneath the jeans" so they probably designed it for protection when things go wrong rather than knee scraping antics. any knee guards with the slider knee pads out there?

 

and frankly at $150, i'd rather look around for full pants for $200. btw how much do budget pants with armour cost anyway?

 

for slip-on knee guards, i'd onli consider buying if less than $100, else i rather go all out with pants.

[sportb1ke]

S$1300.

1-pc suit with hump.

Ugly design but offers all basic protection.

the beauty of free market is....consumer can decide what price to buy a product BUT is subject to what the seller decide on the Offcial price.

 

example : if u feel that a mobilphone should cost only $200 but the MFGer set the MSRP at $800...u aint going to get that phone in any time soon.as the MFGer would just phase out the product & replace it with another model with better function yet asking for the same price(S$800).

 

back to the track pant u mention.

 

take example of this one below;

 

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/300/g1063.jpg

Sport performance riding pants for street use

1.1mm thick full grain leather

Excellent abrasion resistance

Stretch panels in critical areas

Anatomically designed

Zips to leather jacket

Reflective piping and A-star logos

Two outer pockets

Nylon 66 knee sliders included

Injection molded memory foam protectors

 

 

MSRP : US$313.99 aka S$550

 

add-in the shipping & misc fee : ard S$650 !

 

there may have other "not that well-known" brand track pants BUT dont expect the pricing to be too far away.maybe in range of S$300 ~$400 for a proper onez.

 

like those below;

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/300/g15660.jpg

US$200

 

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/300/g9278.jpg

US$260

 

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/300/g15734.jpg

US$299

 

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/300/g15901.jpg

US$350

 

-------

 

then on matters of "knee sliding"....this action is optional while on track.

 

Yes,it looks damn cool but not necessory a MUST-DO action.

 

*bike trackie canfeel back to bomb me on this "action" which in my opinion is as mention above.

 

--------

 

the knee protection i post in early post was mainly for Protecting the Knee.if your knee is injure during any "u know what"....u aint going to ride/drive for the rest of your human life liao.(to me...thats just silly.LIFE is more important then anything else)

 

-------

 

having said all the above.......how many time would i do track? maybe 10 times a year?....so DO i need a track suit?..YES..i DO...but will my "jesscia alba" belly aint going to reduce it mass anytime soon....

 

so my next logical choice? get those pants or just knee protection + track boot(SAF issue. )

yeah, i'm not gonna be knee-scraping everywhere of coz. its just that my attitude, better to have and not need, then to need and not have.

 

back to the knee guards, i'll be frank, i'm a budget person, i try go for minimum requirement with minimum price. if i cant afford it, then i cant afford it. i'd try looking around for other knee guards or pants. those prices, at this point, i want oso i cant buy.

 

in a few years when my income is better, its a 2-pc suit with proper boots for me.

agreed.

 

but my options now are to either get the best my budget can allow..... or not ride at all.......

aghh...my hearts goes for leather full 1pc suit.

 

but my logcial minds tells me...it not a wise choice....since i dont really track as much as i wanted to due to work/committment.

 

i could only see the track maybe 10 times a year...and if i cant fix into the suit after 2~3 wear...it become wastage.

 

so...the next logical choice is to get the pants...those touring type w knee protection(not slider).

 

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/300/g19972.jpg

Ultra-breathable, abrasion resistant ballistic nylon and FS Polytanium mesh

Ballistic nylon in protective areas

Anatomically fitted for the riding position

Polyester mesh non-allergenic lining

Removable CE armor equipped in the hips and knees

Reflective Phoslite

SP memory foam over the hip area

Elastic waist

Velcro adjustable waist

Velcro front zip closure

Velcro leg zip closure with flap

2 front pockets

8” waist zip connector (attaches to Fieldsheer jackets)

 

US$99.99

 

---------------

 

match it with my mesh jacket...shd provide "just nice" protection in track.

 

of course...either track boots or SAF boots la.

the knee guard is built-in.it more like a mesh pants....dunno nite ride ..balls will feel cold anot.

 

US$100 + $65 shipping = US$165 aka S$288.

 

unless local got such option....la.or else...still have to buy from oversea.haizz...
