I know what you mean on the striaghts at track days, the sportbikes get you about midway down the striaght and you have to line up a bike or so to their right or left entering the turn as it is like they threw out a parachute when they hit their braking point and you are still WFO. It can be a little scary, but inside the helmet its fun as hell passing sportbikes in a turn on a dirt bike draggin peg and knee. They know you are there cause the sucker has a pretty healthy breath if you know what i mean.

I have had a few battles with motards on the somewhat smaller tracks I will overtake em on the straights and they would catch me a few turns later. on the larger tracks like summit they just cant compete with the longer straightaway.
