Took the new bike back across, Friday night was wet, Saturday and Sunday dry. By the end I was getting used to the new bike and remembering lines after 1 year and a half off. Great to be back.
Friday in the van: Steady on the bike: ![]() I can definitely tell the power difference of the R1 over my old 750, very useful on some sections. The stiffer suspension (it has had a few mods done by MCT) means the feedback is different, but it holds a line at speed much better. The bike does feel physically bigger than the 750 which isn't surprising with a higher seat. Looking forward to the next trip mid June ![]() |

Awesome Tim!!! I'm hoping to get back there in September with the 750. Should be a slight improvement on my last time at the ring with the SV.

I'm there mid June for a weekend, and for a fair bit of the first half of July (apart from Le Mans Classic weekend). Happy to show anyone the ropes for a lap or two if you're out then.

Nice looking R1 Tim. Can't go wrong with MCT
how were your time on the R1. I think you were quicker on the GSXR than the SV on the first visit when you changed but I'm guessing you were being more cautious with the R1 in and out of the corners but enjoying the power
