Post #88 on that thread

"The Zed is FAR better than I am on track."

told you it was a mini-review....

I cant really comment - it didnt let me down at all and forgave me a couple of ham-fisted moments (chasing Swiss a bit too agressively and bodging a downshift into Paddock gave me a slight lockup) and then in the wet I had the back slide a bit, which *may* have been suspension but more likely me overdoing the throttle, but I doubt that the last 2 would have been noticable to a viewer, tho Benji got the closeup at Paddock :)

Had a great day on it - was rarely above 3rd gear which tops out at an indicated 108mph, 2nd for most of the rest of the circuit.

Clarke Curve is great for learning to trust your bike when its leaning over, and Druids has helped with my tight cornering (I think)

But the Zed was a blast on track :)
