Never mind just the ass shot, we've already seen the bum of those leathers...at least put up another two, one of which should be side on, so we get a proper view

A Bit?

It was as fast at 9,000 rpm as the 600 was at 15,000! ... and you still had another 5000 rpm to go!

It was quite a challenge to take on a new bike and new track on the same day. But you handled it really well and unlike the other 20 odd people flying left right and centre, didn't bin it!

back 'straight' is good, as it climbs and turns you can feel it pressing you into the bike. God knows how fast that was but it felt like flying a jet! Very exhilarating

I was showing 235kph (146mph) as you were pulling away in front!

Cool

Impressive, I think I was showing ~140 on the R6.

For the record, I have no idea how accurate my speedo is

6 mph could just be variation between the Suzuki and the Yamaha.

I did notice I could get a lot more down the straight by taking a different line out of Coppice and into Charlies. I ended up passing a lot of people coming onto the straight by getting the power down a *lot* sooner and going under them. By taking a wide line over the brow of the hill, turning in late for Charlies and making the second apex (of the two kinks) the one to hit, I was able to get passed the bigger bikes that were all using the first kink as the Apex, and getting a good stretch on them despite them being 5-10 yards in front on entry.

I was apexing about 5 yards past the rumble strip in Charlies in this link..

Something I leaned at Knockhill would be good for Cadwell! Who'd have thought?
