I know you mentioned the worn front tire.... but if you were on your old 250, with the same tire conditions, do you think it would have played out the same?

less power = less likely to make that mistake maybe?
steve mentioned that he was a little early on the throttle coming out of the curve, on our 250s that would take some serious throttle wrenching to get the same effect as 1/3 throttle on the 6R
however if it was the front wheel that gave way due to being overly worn, than i think it could happen on any bike... its even more likely to do so on the 250s cos they are so much fun to flick about and lean low with, he he
sad to see such a beautiful bike get this damaged. but good thing Steve had his gear on, that saves a LOT of skin...
get well and get back up on that horse asap!
