All pics are also in the Gallery.

So it was Sunday, early start and rain in the afternoon. Still a wicked day out though. Had better weather last year was sunny and i came home with a tan! lol

I did take way more pics than this, but lets be honest, to some its just bikes driving round a track.

I cannot express just how loud the bigger (Superbikes, Supersport etc) bikes are!


Early Morning Warm Ups....

One Day this will be mine! Nissan GTR...

Latest Yamaha R1..

Awesome pics V_R. Did they have any of the MotoGP bikes there ? When I went to Brands a few weeks back they had the Rizla Suzuki GSV-R there. If ya think the supersport and Superbikes are loud. Them MotoGP bikes are naughty loud. Think I might have the pics and vids still, although not of best quality.


Edit: Talking of loud, Michael Rutter's Ducati is bl**dy loud and you can feel the noise from it, like a thumping in yer chest almost/

Donny would have been the year before I think. Last year they were doing the resurfacing etc to try win the bid for the Formula 1.
Them Ducatis are awesome, they are a sound to their own. Although a good set up inline 4 1000 cc having the nuts rung out of it also sounds good.
Back to Ducati. My neighbour has one of them £70 000 Desmocidici 16 RR, the replica of what Casey Stoner rides, well based on the 2006 Ducati GP6 motogp bike. Now that is loud. Went out for a lil ride with him and I had to ring the spuds of my R6 just to try even keep up with him. One day when I win lotto I want Desmo 16 RR

The RR is a very tasty bike indeed.

The RR is a very tasty bike indeed.

The one to have is the first one they brought out. Look up the MCN test on Youtube. Its pretty much a road legal Ducati GP 6 as what was ridden in 2006, just with lights and a very de tuned motor. The ones after that they stopped using all the exotic materials. Carbon/kevlar now replaced with fibre glass, Titanium now replaced by normal extruded steal. The first one out was pushing near 230bhp. The newer ones are down to around 160 -170 bhp. Not that that bothers me though. Still want one along with a Nissan Gt-R. And as for the Gt-R if I had £200 000 I would go for the Nismo tuned GT-R. Now that is yummy
