High 1.3s~low 1.40s,high 3.70s and mid 5.70s to low 5.80s 1/8th times.
At 64", I could go mid 1.3s -3.70s and even went a couple of high 5.60s but couldn't get it to HOOK at certain tracks that we go to and decided it's better to lose a little ET and be consistant. If I was a little taller or had longer arms so that I could sit farther back on the seat I think 64" would be the better set-up. I have a pretty good clutch hand, so wheelies arent really a problem.

I'm about 190-200 suited and run in the the 9.0's-teens on a average day. It's going to take some good air and decent pass to run in the 8's. I usually mph about 151-153, I pulled a 154 out of my butt one time. I got nothing but bolt on's and i'm at 64 inchs. The track I race at just got repaved and seems too hook pretty good. Once we get some good rubber back down on it I expect my 60's to get in the high 1.3's.

16/43....I go thru at the very top of 5th. I thought about going back to 16/42 but the bike seems to be just where I like it. i switched to a 180/55 tire which is a little taller than the 190/50. My track doesnt open till this wednesday, so i'm not hoping for any miracles with a rusty clutch hand. I'm also trying out the new power ones...we'll see how long they last.

I had a "little" ($$$$) action to see about with an '08 Busa. The bike appeared to be strong but their rider had problems with double-shifting and wheelying. That 20-25 mph cross-wind gust wasn't a help either.

So I take it you WON! congrats!
The wind wasn't too bad side to side at the track but a strong head wind was present.
Maybe I'll see you next week.

Yeah, I tried to get them to come to the track but he said I've got an advantage there ? We go to an old air strip around here which is safer than the street but definitely not ideal. I like the money but overall it's not worth the risks if something goes wrong. He was trying to get on the "gas" too quick.
