*Shrugs* One day you'll see me, and you'll realize its possible. I still take corners hard and like I said, never scraped once.

in the last master bike test the zx6 lost a lot of points because it was draging pegs before it should have been, and this is stock hight and set up right and on a smoth race track... sliding your triple tree down 4 inches can't have been a good thing for ground clearance..lol.


anways, I'm sure you don't care, I'm just saying.

I does rob you of cornering clearance... all I have to do is ride 2up & I drag my midpipes & stand all over the place.

I guess if all you do is city riding then you wouldn't know how much of a problem it would be in twisty roads & the track.

i was gonna say, she should join up with you guys on a north run. there aren't highspeed corners in the city, i dont care where your at. Doesn't even have to be highspeed, just sharp, flowing corners that really make you lean.

Yeah, I guess my definition of hard cornering isn't everyone elses... when you carry alo of cornering speed & are on the gas hard out of a corner, it compresses the suspension further, irregularities on the road will cause it to compress further still... Just take into consideration your riding style, that's all.

I weight, 190lbs & I have the rear sag set so that it barely compresses past 1inch when I sit on it. This works for me cause my bike is a bit heavier than most sportbikes & I ride 2up with the wife often...
