grunty Posted December 19, 2004 Hi , Well i guess like some of you (especially in England) i have done the sporty bike thing to death, track days you name it. Now i am not looking to race properly on my KTM DUKE 11 which is why i bought that model as if i did i would give it a go and i have had a few ops on my back and shoulders due to accidents (track). And i know i would get out there and come off on the dirt especially. But i have a bet on with a few mates that i can 'Whip there arse' on their sports bikes on a all tarmac race course in britain (i can choose). What am i up against? ZX6R GSXR750 R1 Yeah i know! Dodgy! But i have the winter to do this Duke up to give it the best possibe chance, well i did have until my job priorities have changed 😢 . I have a Stock Machine DUKE 11 2003- NEW. Now i have not got the time i have a company called HM racing (some of you might know it) close to me who sponsor and have a works team so they no what they are doing. Now i have in total £750 riding on this bet and the looser pays for the track day on top. So you could be talking £1000! 😢 So guys i have turned to you for mods advice without them knowing as there are many ears around here. So the shopping list i can take to HM please. Ok it might cost £1000 for mods, but then my pride is at stake here plus i will pick the bendiest track i can with few straights. Akropovics? Airbox mod? Any shopping lists you have in mind so i can whip their arses. Grunty p.s I know its a bit forward for my first post but if you are true motards then i am sure you will help me whip them! 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michaeln My Ride Posted December 20, 2004 If it's tight and twisty enough you ought to be able to hand them their asses just using the bike as is and a lot of talent. If it has much in the way of straight sections, you're screwed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
