So I'm going to Thompson on the 18th with my new ride and I'm expecting a bit of a different experience compared to my previous trackdays. Up until now all my time on the track had been aboard my beloved rc51, this go around will be on my hypermotard, while not sportbike vs. cruiser different I find the two to be quite different in a few areas. Specifically related to the track I'm thinking first about the very different riding position and second the limited top speed of the Hyper.
While the Hyper feels infinitely more flickable, is the upright position going to feel awkward on the track?
I've only seen one video from TMS but i think it showed that bike hitting ~150 on the straight, this is almost 20mph faster than the Hyper' s claimed top speed. Straight line speed wasn't really a concern with the old pig, how much should I now be concerned with holding guys up?
Any input and insight is appreciated!
