Kawi vs Honda
I'm watching a video of a guy from a local forum and he is on a Honda Blackhawk (I'm not sure what it is) at Jennings. This guy leads groups on forest runs around here that seem to be fun (although I haven't been on one yet). He is using a rear mounted camera and low and behold a 250 is running him down. They aren't really doing fast times however; I always hear about how these 250 are so much faster in the corners and this guy is proving it.

The Laguna video is a perfect example of carrying momentum. The 250 is running the correct line and hitting his points while the other riders aren't using the whole track and losing momentum everywhere.

Scott, that video is great! His lines are so much better than the others.

I love the Laguna video... it shows that a good rider on a little bike can play with the other "big boys"

It shows that proper form (hitting your points) is faster than not knowing WTF you are doing.
