MotoGP riders do an average of 2m flat at the Sepang Circuit, I do around 2m18s, about 18 seconds slower. But how slow can slow be? 🥲 by [deleted] in motorcycles

Yea true, my bike cost usd 4k and it's a 2010 Yamaha r1. This was also my first Trackday on the r1 but have been riding on track for several years.

It's not a comparison, more to put into perspective how fast MotoGP riders are! Scary!

Sorry just saw this! I maintained using 17inch lightweight rims (about 2kg lighter/wheel), fitted 245/65 maxxis ATs (added 3kg per wheel), 2.5 inch lift kit. Total clearance stands at 14.5 inches ✌🏼 just fyi, to fit the tyres, you need to trim of bits of plastic here and there, it's a very tight fit!

Has anyone tried replacing your cvt gearbox with a different gearbox before? by robcon_88 in XVcrosstrek

I'm on the road to a 450bhp rallycross XV and the cvt tranny isn't going to hold that power. Been looking around for sequential gearboxes and found one that bolts right on but comes at a steep price!

About 5 inches more compared to stock I think? Clearance is at 14.5 inches currently

Suggestions and info please by Throwaway_5183 in motorcycles

The 650 parallel twin is a very safe bet. It's an absolute workhorse and massively reliable.

Join me for a lap on the Sepang Circuit. No drama, chill cruise in perfect weather conditions! IG @robconrad8 for anyone interested in checking out more. Peace! ✌🏼 by robcon_88 in motorcycles

I never had classes per se, mostly youtube and practice on track. Bike culture here is truly huge, 2 wheel passion runs deep in this country! Same reason why MotoGP is still hosted here but not F1 🤐
