Don't dismiss Buells in the handling department. I've tracked my Ulysses and passed many a hard core, full bore, race replica sportbike.

Now, when the track goes straight, you need to get the hell out of the way because that pissed off guy on the Gixxer you just passed is going to show you what a "real" bike is like. LOL!

My track bike is a Gixxer 600, and I got abused by a couple of Buells my last track day. I swear, those bikes handle like they are stuck to the track.

As for the brakes.....you guys slow down???? Why?

Now what REALLY sucks is that I couldn't pass Barker on his 9R. I was carrying a 60lb weight disadvantage and more aerodynamic drag, but I should STILL have been able to pass him on the straight.

Sucked.

No kidding...you couldn't get past the 9 on the straight? Impressive 9r.

There's not that much difference in peak HP.

I don't know what the weight/hp impact is, but I'd bet that you'd lose more than 11 HP with a 60 lb difference in combined rider and bike weight.

Add to that the impact of aerodynamic drag of my galloot ass compared to his and I'm not surprised.

oh ok... I was like... you expected to pass a ZX9R on the STRAIGHTS?
