    A lot of envy right here. Those bikes are fastttttt and I think they look great.

    I very briefly rode a hyper on the track. I've never been one to carry the most lean angle, but even I scraped pegs almost immediately on it. Get ready for a whole new world.

    So true, even with aftermarket rearsets as high and back as possible I was scraping the pegs (and sidestand)... Really forced me to concentrate on getting WAY off the bike, felt like a lot of work with those wide bars.

    Rode one for three days at a CSS school at NJMP. They made you run in rain mode the first day. No one crashed. Amazing bike. You will love it!

    At NJMP was hitting red line in 4th gear, which from the chart is 140mph or so. The fast guys were going by me at 150-160.

    Honestly, I’d get private lessons from Condon or one of the other TTD guys, or Penguin. It was good but not worth the $$.
