    You don't expect him to come say it's the worst bike he has ever ridden do you?

    that's pretty close to what the feedback has been so far this year.
    but post #1 was more sarcasm from the amount of lean angle in the picture.
    I wish I was fast enough to drag elbow, without immediately dragging back & other body parts.

    If you want to drag elbow, just to say you dragged elbow, go to NYST - corner 6. I donno if it's how long the corner is, the camber, or the speed through there, but I was able to scuff my elbow there the same weekend I got my knee down consistently for the first time. (PS - before I get yelled at, there was nobody around me, and the consequences of low-siding aren't too bad - and no, I didn't immediately drag back or other body parts)

    ...of course I'm guessing you're more concerned with the "fast enough" part, so the fact that a relative noob dragged elbow there probably won't have you running out to try it yourself

    You and your brother, dude.... I remember when he watched gopro video of my FIRST TRACKDAY ever. First thing he said was "oh, you were about 3 feet off the apex coming over the hill in corner four."

    Just trying to help Eric out. He needs all the pointers that he can get, I'm sure.

    That's disappointing, if the bike is truly that bad, but 1:11.9 doesn't seem that far off the pace.

    Re: Hey Eric

    Random internet sitting at work observation, hold on -

    He's 8 inches off the apex because he's grabbing the throttle near the same point he did with his Ducati. The Ducati held the line whereas the Kawi is now pushing him a little wide. I bet next round he's right back on that apex with a few minor bike/rider adjustments.

    Dove,
    My post was totally in jest. I'm fairly certain Eric could outride me on a moped.

    My post is in jest too. Going for the typical internet hero comment.

    Mods - can we get a sarcasm font for NESR?

    That would solve far too many NESR fights in wintertime and we'd be left with no recourse, or entertainment

    Re: Hey Eric

    I would expect that setting up the bike has a lot to do with seat time, and since this is a new bike maybe it's not dialed in perfectly like the 848 was.

    Also I'm surprised about going with Kawasaki, was the Daytona 675R not an option?

    What are the penguin bikes now? I'm guessing that is all part of the package.

    I told Scott Greenwood he needs to hang off more. He liked my comment. Hopefully he will take my advice to heart.
