I was entering turn #1 around 80ish and exiting around 105ish hard to look down at those speeds. It just takes time and alot of laps to work your speeds up entering corners.

thanks for the tip!
i enter corners around 60-70mph depending. and im really conservative about it. i guess you have to be riding that same circuit everytime to know.

i go around 85-90 when exiting curves. what can i say, im a wuss

Joe, you said "cornerS" ... every "corner" is different and its hard to judge one from another based on speed, much less generalizing all corners and the entry and exit speed.

Nick is talking about a very specific corner, so unless you are comparing your speed in that exact corner, your corner speed in general really doesn't apply.

Also, anyone's opinion that counts won't call you a wuss or puss based on how fast you are on a sport bike. Remember its a hobby and all that counts is that you have fun and "live to ride another day."

Nick, you may want to check out this place for good deals on Power Race tires. A 190/55/17 is 222.95 SHIPPED to your door. Sportbike Track Gear Cart

They also have good deals on lots of other stuff too. I got a pair of MotoGP gloves for $49 (equivelant to A* SP1 gloves aka $120 pair of gloves)

www.sportbiketrackgear.com

Are you running warmers?
