Re: [ST] Thoughts on a Track Day



There were two speed triples, two ST1050's , a Daytona 675 and My 955
Daytona at the last track day I went to.

The speed triple works well on track days.

The guy on his 675 was far off the pace, but is still getting used to the
bike so lets see how he does next time out.


cheers


Marc
