Because to make a 600 competitive against the other next Gen bikes like the Ducati you would have to do a lot of work to the motor. This would be costly and make the bike less reliable. The 750 motor is pretty much stock, so more cost effective and more reliable.

I use gopro cameras with stabilization turned on. Some videos use an insta 360 one x.

if it works for you sure. I sometimes chop the throttle off to help the bike stand up and lean the other way.

It is simple when you steer the bike, you use up some amount of the available front traction. When you steer the bike aggressively (quickly) you use more of the available traction than when you steer it more slowly. When you use the front brake you are using some amount of the available traction as well. If you brake hard you use more traction, brake lass and you use less traction. If you are going to turn the bike aggressively then you will be using more of the available traction for steering and there is less available for braking. If you turn the bike slowly, then there is more traction available for braking. I'm not saying you can't use any brake when you are steering aggressively, just that you should use less.

@@stumanrides thanks! I wasn't questioning your statements, I just thought fast people like you and racers tended to exploit braking geometry changes more in the tighter corners than in more gradual corners. I'm still learning to apply this at the track so just wanted to get some idea. I get the idea of 100points of grip, though.

@@jwdiho I don't mind if people question my statements, I think it makes for a good discussion. One thing to consider about braking that many don't, when you brake hard, the motorcycle is more difficult to steer. The more front brake you have on, the more counter-steering force will be required to turn the bike. If you have less front brake the bike will require less countersteering force to steer. So if you want the bike to turn quickly with a little less force, you use less brake.

@@stumanrides see that's the exact opposite of what I thought was the case having not exploited trail braking much. I thought the harder you brake, the easier the bike was to turn... there must obviously be a point of diminishing returns or even worse, hindering your turn in

@@jwdiho Try it for yourself sometime, preferably on a track. Go into a corner at a speed that is pretty easy for you and brake lightly while steering the bike. Notice how much effort (how hard you have to push on the bar) it takes to make the bike turn. Then go into that same corner and brake harder while trying to turn in, notice how much effort it takes to turn the bike while braking harder. Braking does change the geometry of the bike, but the forces acting on the front tire's contact patch also have a big effect on how easy it is to turn the bike.

I believe the Tech 10 was designed to work with a suite. It might work with other clothes, but I think A* has other vests designed for use with other cloths.

It would be really hard to fix your issue without going much deeper and maybe seeing you ride in person. I would suggest getting some coaching from a school like the California Superbike School or some private coaching from a reputable coach at a track day.

Yea that would be nice. 😅😅😅oh wait they actually have a truck capable of doing just that i guess these guy ain’t figured it out yet. 😂😂😂

Yeah, the V2 is 955cc, but they limit the power on those the same as on the Suzuki so the racing is very close.

@@stumanrides you know in italy the wsbk was create by flammini group and ducati was always winning because was 2 cylinder a0nd 850 cc whit less weight of the 600 it is no fare ...the jap always straggle to compete let the ducati due the mono race by himself pandemia let the championship to the 600 or 750 categories is much better for our eyes

Awsome that you are still ripping at 61! Glad you like the videos.

I think when a bike has enough power to spin the rear tire easily you need to start thinking about your drive off the corner more. Lightweights like the 660, R7, SV, etc. don't really have a ton of power where point and shoot would work. But they have enough power where you need to start thinking more about your drive off the corner. I think it is like a sliding scale, the more power a bike has the more you start to square off the corners. Less power, rounder corners.

You couldn't recognize a gsxr 600 from 750 when suzuki put USD forks on 600s (from 2006 models). You had to really know what to look for to undersand the bike you had in front of you since the bikes externaly are exact the same. Even more today a gsxr 750 is one of the best motorbikes you can have for track use since it takes the best from two different worlds of racing, the agility and lightweight a 600 has with torque and linear power (old) liter bikes had. At the moment in Europe there zero access to any gsxr... so it's really sad. Racing with a stock engined 750 in superpost class is the best thing a small team could do. Cheap, reliable and really... really capable. Unfortunately at the moment there is zero entry in world supersport using suzuki motorcycles... but we hope we will be able to see again some wildcards from USA.

I started racing a long time ago and after racing for a while I was able to get a job as a riding coach with the California Superbike School. I worked as a riding coach full time for about 8 years. I did it part time longer than that. Now I do have a normal job in custom software development, I'm in technical sales. I coach part time on the side now as well at teach the new racer school for CVMA and club race.

Wow, thank you so much for telling me about your story and work life. I feel like I would love nothing more than to be teaching track driving or riding. Something to work towards, perhaps. The nearest track is an hour and a half away from me. But its better than no track!

Yeah, this one was set up pretty well and the front felt awesome.

It always has been a great bike. The ride by wire is nice. Being able to adjust the engine braking and have an auto blipper is pretty cool.

What all has to be done?!? Aftermarket throttle bodies I would assume?

@@Naptownstreetsquid that’s just the start. All new wiring harness, ecu, dash. . . Throttle itself. It’s not just a few bolt on parts

@@Naptownstreetsquid I don't know everything, but I know they replaced the throttle bodies and servos, the throttle, added wheel speed sensors, replace the ECU and the dash. I'm sure there is a lot more to it.

M4 makes some of the best sounding pipes for any bike :)

The engine will probably last forever, its detuned compared to a stock engine with stock exhaust. My 2008 GSXR 750 produces 131 HP on the rear wheel while after 45 000 miles and more than 40 track days the last 5 years. Just maintain in properly. A full race exhaust take them close to 140.

Awsome! I look forward to seeing you in the New Racer School on of these days!

I would love to go racing. A couple of things stopping me. 1, money, its expensive even if everything goes right. 2, there are virtually no track days open for just motorcycles anywhere near me, and I am in a decently populated area with a decent amount of tracks near me, just no idea how to find one that is within 5 hours of me. 3, time, Before I moved, all the motorcycle track days they did have were on friday, I work a job, so unless I want to take off random fridays not really feasible.

I'm not sure I understand your comment? Besides the fact that Australia has had 3 premier class champions (Stoner, Doohan and Gardner) and the US has had 7 (Roberts, Spencer, Lawson, Rainey, Schwantz, Roberts Jr. and Hayden). National pride aside, are you trying to say that Australia has better riders because they don't have track days down under?

@@stumanrides I didn’t state the categories of world championships winners. As this list is long, you did (not sure why). Nor did I say none have not done any track days. My kids for example have watched both of my WSB rides at Phillip Island (my old home racetrack) along with several other races on KZfaq and have actually purchased a ride day pass for them to watch me live at Phillip Island. What I was getting to was we don’t, as a majority, start with track days. As mentioned clearly we start out in smaller capacity bikes by joining racing clubs to learn how to ride slow bikes fast before progressing up the ranks. Either way, the split of World Champions is not a 1 to 10 ratio (as per population) even as you have noted with just MotoGP. Which system is better? Having people on (for example 500 - 1100 cc) class bikes learning to race from track days or as per Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe etc… where the road riders also start out on lower cc bikes and/or restricted bikes which based upon all the available statistics is safer. Does this make sense now or do you require more information supported by facts. To be honest, I’m actually more nervous about a track day than racing in front of 130,000 trackside fans and full TV coverage. Lol.

@@marcusgeorge1825 I guess it would depend on what your criteria is for "Better". Track days attract more people to the sport. There are many riders here in the US that don't want to jump right into racing and would rather have fun riding around on a track at a track day on their street bike. Some of these riders never race, and IMO that is all good. Others do some track days and find that they would like to try racing, it's like a gateway drug. Those riders already have some track experience and are typically pretty proficient riders when they decide to go racing. As for starting out on smaller displacement bikes, many do. The ultra-lightweigh classes are filled with amateur racers just starting out. However, we don't limit amateurs to riding only the little bikes, they can start on a 1000 if they like. Joe Roberts raced with our club on a 1000 when he was very young and just starting out. In any case, maybe the way you do it down under produces higher quality racers, that is great. The way we do it with our club attracts a large number of riders to the sport of racing, we probably have one of the most well-attended new racer programs in the US, graduating about 15 new racers every month for our 7-round series. Motorcycle racing is very niche in the US. Riding sportbikes in the US is very niche as well. Most motorcyclists here ride cruisers or adventure bikes. Anything we can do to get more riders on the track is a good thing for the growth of the sport here and track days have been a boon for that.

@@stumanrides Let’s take the country pride out of all of this and look at the history of arguably the GOAT. Valentino Rossi. Did he start off with track days? No. Just talking 2 wheels here. He mastered racing slow bikes fast. 125 cc World Champion, 250 cc World Champion etc. Bit to even mention the smaller categories he raced before the main events. I don’t believe anyone can argue with his success. Would he have been as great if he started out doing track days on bigger machines? Possibly not. Same story for all the European racers.

Yup, there's an old saying... Want to go faster? Go racing. I've seen it time and time again that riders take seconds off their best lap times their first race weekend.

nah, you get to follow way better riders which makes you way faster. trackdays are full of crashes and traffic jams for no reason wasting your money

That’s absolutely untrue. That’s why there is an amateur race class and an expert race class

Just curious, why do you think it is pointless?

Yes I do. Some of my bikes have auto blippers which makes it easy. My current race bike doesn't have an auto blipper so I have to blip the throttle myself. I think rev matching by flipping the throttle is best. Once you get the hang of it it isn't that hard to do and doesn't take much of your attention. However, I think you can also downshift without flipping the throttle, but you have to let the clutch out slowly. I think that way is a little harder to do smoothly and takes more of your attention. Maybe I should do a video on this ?

@stumanrides Thanks for sharing that. Yes you should absolutely do a video on it. Content is the name of the game you're in.
