My ex girlfriends daughter did it last year & loved the CBR6 so much she bought one. I would love to do it one day, looks like a great day out. Glad you enjoyed

may i ask how much was it for the day with the bike?

its cost £260 i think for the day including bike all gear i used my helmet though and if you crash there no big cost at the end just the fact that you cant go back on racetrack, which is fair enough

and its not just a trackday, you follow a instructor who are amazing btw and they give you pointers in all areas of your riding

well worth it for my first trackday would recommend

You look like you know what you're doing, impressive for your first time on track!

Any idea what times you were doing, or were you practicing corners, rather than trying to go round as fast as you could?

How long had you been riding before going on this course?

I'd love to do it - but not been riding that long.....

The aforementioned Ex's daughter had passed her 125 test, but not ridden a large capacity machine, she arrived to play on the cbf500s that they have there, but there weren't enough bikes for her. They asked if she felt ok riding the CBR. She took one out, fell in love, & didn't look back, so I wouldn't worry about what type of rider you are, or how long you have been riding, the instructors are fantastic & wont push you.

That looks like lots of fun! I'm hopefully going to the MotoGP there next month, would be great to do some training there after hehe
