Title: Should I buy this as a trackbike?
Post by: craigo on August 11, 2009, 06:49:29 PM
Needs a bit of work, but I reckon she's good for ~16min lap times around EC.

Just remember Craig...... You have NO insurance cover on the track......  [moto]

Could get costly on those low sides......  [cheeky]  [cheeky]

Suspension is definitely stiffer, good point.

I'd look into where that cold air intake is heading.
Is that a Titanium slip-on?

Thanks Spider. Wish I had a garage but no the 999s is parked at my work car park in the city and the 996 sits in a restaurant between track days in Randwick, Sydney. It's called Cellini's and they have a number of classic Duc's on display. Great Italian food.....this is coming from an Italian!!

I'm not quite 2 meters tall actually about 187cm's. The bikes are a bit small, not too bad. I think you might struggle though.

Haven't really seen much of the bike since I bought it and only took it for a quick run. I will fix those chicken strips at the track day on the 29th!
