Our R6 is definitely no slouch in terms of SS, it was the bike to have for that generation.

The S1000RR is just pure psyco, period. The TC could use some refinement as you can definitely feel it cutting in and out, and the general consent is the S-Ktrac is a better system.

Chuckwalla is definitely a course for bikes with mid range, which reflected how the CBR won the superpole. They were only using 3rd at the longest straight with a 139mph top speed.

In a circuit like NJMP Thunderbolt, the bike will be at the limiter in 4th at the end of main straight.
