Well seeing you asked...  (Non Ducati thread warning....)

Rhonda misbehaved at her first track day...  Yes yes I know very strange for a H@nda

Charging isues... It would appear the alternator is not charging the battery!!! I got two sessions in and that was it... No more start and make the beast with two backsing hard to bump start!!! She is off at the auto electricians as I type... I may have dislodged some wiring when taking the fairings on and off or there is some other issue....

She has been well set up, easy to ride and very stable both on and off the gas and transition from brakes to throttle mid corner.  I suspect the Ohlins suspension has a lot to do with that, as does the bikes weight.   She is a heavy bike and feels planned on the road, but there is good feed back from the tyres through the chassis and she changes direction with ease.   I was pulling 220kph in the first session while scubbing the new tyres in and 245kph in the second session when warming up to track pace!! The riding position is radical and she is Very aerodynamic.   Once I get some track time I think I'll be able to pull some decent lap times (for me mid to low 1.50's) and expect to see 260+kph out of her.  It was great riding a bike after nearly a year off and nearly two years off the track...

Rhonda is going to be great fun....

I'm shocked regarding the electrickery problem!! 

I thought that was the sole predilection of ITALIAN bikes?? (According to runour?)

A fine thecnical piece of engineering such as a (Koff, splutter, spit, hack.) H@#*% having lecky probs

Surely not??
