I remember that thread. I seem to recall that he started by saying he did around 1:50 and within a few pages he was saying he did mid 1:40s. Phenomenal progress over a few pages. 👏 I expect he’s getting close to the lap record by now.

1:50 to 1:45 is nothing special, but still slow

random guys on youtube first time there do 1:42 easily

You do realize tires wear and conditions vary? Dipped to 15 sec off MA times on one day and the next was 18. Seems pretty consistent to me for a B+ rider. Anything under a 50 and predictable lines can bump up to A’s. But yeah, talk to me when you get out of diapers

1:45 is within 18 seconds from AMA Supersport so its believable

A group running under 50 and not under 40 is hardly believable.
 
Also I’ve never said I was fast. More slightly above average. Used to be more above average but I’d say the V4 has hampered my riding more than helped despite the electronics and power.

Saying these are more rear biased bikes is an astute observation. I think this is why I’ve been finding it difficult entering into a corner. I wouldn’t say it has good front end feel and is sluggish to the apex.

But different strokes for different folks
