Street use might be a bit hot during the summer, but track will have no issue. Oleg had a similar bp but a gen 1 level-1 exclusively for street rides iirc,.

I’m not too worried the RS suit flows air like you wouldn’t believe it’s like not wearing a suit at all.

For a trackday?
The org I rode with (Ridesmart) only required one for the Advanced group, which I always thought was kinda weird, but I think pretty much everyone wore one anyway. Better to play it safe.

I understand, I hear bad things about those stock kawi tires. And if they are any where near as shitty as the stock tires on the R6 I’d be afraid of them…But than again those shitty tires didn’t stop me from pushing them to the limits.
It just caught up with me after a while. :lol
I will say the one good thing about the stock R6 qualifier is the fact once those tires got hot you could get he rear to step out real easy. Perfect for setting up a hair pin turn.
I’m fine on the tire front with the Q2’s tons of life left.

Some guy on svrider is selling a new Forcefield ProSub4 BP for $160 shipped, $40 savings over online retail. This is the one I have for track use, it is the first and one of only 2 BP on the market that had a sub 4kn rating.
