freaking sweet! I love watching our machines carving corners. It reminds me that I am holding the bike back and I still have much to learn.

Those are 250 race prepped 2 strokes, snot! A whole different hairy ride than our Ninjettes no matter how well they've been teased!
I would crap my drawers hitting the power band when exiting the corners on a track like the Isle of Mann TT!

I'd like to see 4-stroke 250-390cc go around the IOM.

Sounds like a formula for taking a nap between corners while watching on TV.

A friend of mine let me take his Honda RS250 out for a few laps at a trackday. It was as if the whole time the bike was saying to me: "Is that all you got buddy? Cause I am a way better bike than you are a rider."

Even so, I have the goal one day of building a bike using an RS or TZ 250 chassis with a KTM 690 engine so I can experience that 250GP bike handling sweetness without the cost of maintaining the 250 two stroke motor.

they could ride mine better than I can and it would have the same effect....
point is knowing I am holding her back even at this stage.
