True dat. Definitely learning corner speed and momentum with this machine. I love to study riding - been to Corner spin, YCRS (3x) and CSS (levels 1 - 4).
Some folks are naturally good - I on the other hand need to work much harder to achieve a portion of a really talented riders skills. Never stop learning and tying to improve.
That being said racers are always looking to shave off a few ounces where ever they can.
This season a racing buddy bought a sprocket from a guy in the paddock - the next day the guy (another racer) came to him and said he forgot the thing had titanium hardware that he wanted back.
