Is that your super motard creation…..retina burn indeed, shocking….Hummm, must get a set of yellow ones for my 12

Thanks for the info on the tyres that you used at The Ring.

BTW, what was your best lap time on your 12 ???

Yah, that 'Moto was my previous bike to the GS. The Husky was a bit too focused (considering that I've done 11,000 miles on the GS since Sept!). I put the coloured tyres on as a product review - it was actually quite hilarious!

The only time I've take the GS to the 'Ring was during Easter and I arrived on Thursday and only did a few laps. On the rest of the weekend the full track was open (GP+Nordschleife) so the times don't really apply. Especially as the GP circuit is way too grippy for a Boxer engine. I can't remember what my average lap time was either, but it might have been somewhere around 13 minutes or so...
I'll let you know next time what times I've done.... On my previous GSX-R I managed some 8:20ish BTG.

It's serious fun!

On that note; Riding the 'Ring is dangerous, and timing laps is not a good idea unless you know where the road goes. Be careful if you go.

I used to run those tyres on my SM (Sprint 'wet' compound and black! ). They are truly fantastic tyres, I've never known such grip on a road tyre.

Given I used to get 4-500 miles out of a rear can you imagine what they'd be like on a GS
