I gather that the rear spring rate on the 650R is about 1200 lbs/in. That's right, twelve hundred. No linkage to make a puny 400-600 lbs/in work like most supersports have.

I'm anxious to see how other people do at the Gap. I've never been....heard and saw pics and videos of the horror stories. I don't want to become one of them, especially since we don't have anything remotely like the curves at the Gap here. I'll be taking my time.
NO ONE is allowed near the tree of shame. ONLY rule- no crashing.
