[CaptainSlow]

I think this guy is riding the wrong bike. From his riding style and boots he ought to be on the 1000RR

Besides the white boots - do not see what the problem is

Just a journo giving it some berries - you can ride a GSA quickly if you want you

If people stop buying that shite maybe they'll go out of business. Which would be nice.

Spot on, you can ride it quickly if you want to, I do, but have never found it neccesary to get a knee down. Every bike is different, so why test them in one standard fashion, shows a lack of knowledge to me and an insult to the manufacturerers by portraying the bike in a way it probably wasnt intended.

The Journo isnt doing us any favours riding it like that as is just yet more ammunition for the anti biking brigade.

More or less just what i was thinking

 

[mr badger]

For so many reasons, the whole 'knee down' thing is so inappropriate on the road.

Let's see him try it round here and see how long it is before his knee slider gets caught in one of our new, improved potholes.

If they didn't do that, then the sportsbike jockeys would think it didn't handle. But how many of them do you see on a Sunday meet, with knee sliders covered in cobwebs and dust??
