Thanks for the comments.

I'm in Tayport, just wish the weather was a bit better up here as I've hardly got to use this this summer. I've got a set of wets for the track but you cant use them on the road and my dry tyres are hopeless when it rains.

Its in track spec there though so no heavy lights or any other road gear. Also its tiny, My last bike was an R6 and this is significantly smaller.

Good luck getting an Austin Racing exhaust through the sound checks! Mates brother couldn't get his through a 105db day!

Awesome bike though. One do i will own one. For the time being i'll have to stick with my RS250 for track duties.

At the minute he's on a ratio of 1:1 bhp:kg you increase weight to 1000 and apply the same ratio its 1000bhp per ton

That's one of the perks of Knockhill, it's in the middle of nowhere so there isn't any sound checks

Its an Aprilia RSV4 factory with a few cosmetic bolt ons.

As for noise regs yer Knockhill are pretty lenient thank god as it is very loud. I do have a longer more baffled can for quieter days but it just doesnt look or sound as good.

Jimmy 2.1-An RS250 is an awesome track machine. I bet your corner speed is higher then me on mine.

Yeah its a good but its taken me 18 months to get it to run right and last a full trackday which was 3 weeks ago at Cadwell. Off to Mallory Park on Friday so thats the real test as to whether its fully fixed.

Is your Austin exhaust an inconell model? I will get on of these once they drop a bit more. Perfect size for my Biaggi size, and he seems to do ok on an RSV4!
