first day at track with S4RS

[06Roush]

so i took my S4RS to streets of willow on 4/29 to attend CLASS (reg pridmore's school). i've been to the track with my 749 before, but this was my first time taking the monster.

i took it relatively easy throughout the day but i still had a F'n blast. after reading about people getting a lot of shake and nervous turn-ins i was a little apprehensive, but i wasn't pleasantly surprised by the way the bike held up around the track. power wheelies coming out of turns are something that never happen on the 749, so the few times the front left the ground a bit had me grinning ear to ear.

i found myself less fatigued and sore by the end of the day as compared to the 749 (which many know is kind of a torture rack).

i was running pilot race softs (front and rear) at 28/25psi and those suckers gripped! definitely recommend them to anyone who hasn't tried 'em themselves.

forgot to mention... my seat cowl flew off at some point in one of the sessions. make sure that thing is secured!!

here are a few shots...

Looking good!


I am so totally jealous of your collection of bikes. [cheeky] Is that J on the Honda behind you? Tell him I said hi!

[razatos]

Great pic, thanks. I was thinking of getting 749 for the track. What do you think, its is fun to have both bikes?

Nice pics! Had a chance to do a track day with a friend of mine last year who has a S4RS - had a heck of a time keeping up with him on my 749S.

Sweet pics and bad ass suit man, I can't wait to get a track day in on my RS. Wake up that 998 with a Termi kit and watch those lap times shrink!

Nice shots of that RS. I've got a brand new Termi 'R' in my garage waiting for my Dutch license chop.

How would you describe the performance of your Ohlins shocks, versus, say... the stock Showa ones?

Fantastic pictures. I am hoping they have a track day somewhere near me here in Dallas to take my Monster to.
