Smooth is fast and fast is smooth, JR is definitely both here. Dragging a knee or trying to will slow you down especially if you are too far off the seat.
great video. Brought back memories of when I was there in May. Been there the last 3 years in early Spring. If I lived closer, I'd go there more often. Anyway, was wondering what you meant about lean angle on an MT09 or MT10 then it hit me- your Sumo and other supermoto's are taller so they can lean more? Am i right? I noticed over the few years I've gone that the locals prefer supermotos. I did notice that I raely got out of 2nd when I was there on my ZRX1100 but I need a liter bike to commute there is why I ride it and only have one bike so... Anyway thanks again for the vid. You guys did a real good job considering it hadn't been repaved yet. Souithbound side of the road looked rougher than I remember. I was fortunate got to ride early May this year and 85% was complete. Can't wait to go back
Espectacular!! Enorme vídeo amigo americano👍👋👋. Ese piloto de MT-10 es un fenómeno!! School Estadounidense 100 % 100 😂👍. Kevin schwantz, Rainey, Gardner, kocinski, lawson, etc👍👍👍👍👍🇪🇸
Well, my 701 SM stock footpegs scrape at 50 degrees with the suspension set to sport and S22 tires... I think the MT-10/09 has about the same lean angle (51 degs), not sure with or without the feelers.
I lean my sumo over far and I still don’t drag pegs.. 701 def have a lot more room to go further. Idk if my suspension is stock, but I yet to drag my peg on my 701
@@Antprilia. I have the 2021 SM (EU), which has 1.3 inches less ground clearance. Suspension set to sport, tires are S22s, I weigh 172 lbs and I drag pegs at 50 degrees, so I have to sit out more.
beautiful riding as usual! and tell me your opinion, is there a big difference between 600 and 1000 supersport on road like this? for example r6/zx6r vs your aprilia, does lack of torque make huge difference or not so much?
Yes there’s a big difference, it easier to ride a 600 out there, but you have to really keep it up in high rpm’s. 1k is lent as nimble, but the torque helps you make up for that. I still prefer to ride 1000 and 1100cc bikes
I’m actually 11 sec faster on the aprilia vs my sumo… I think I can drop my sumo time down by maybe 5 more seconds. I don’t think I’ll be able to get below a 9:20 on my sumo.. hopefully next season I’ll be able to get some good passes in!!!
Seems supermotos are quickest through this tight stuff. MT rider looked to be working much harder than you. I was there end of May during the resurfacing, saw you at dusk when I rolled in.
I agree, sumos are definitely faster at going into a curve hotter and quicker at braking before the turn!! If a sumo had more torque there wouldn’t be a street bike that could touch it through the tight stuff!!
