[QUOTE="Howard, post: 40636, member: 271"] It really depends on the track. I used 3 different back wheel sprockets on my Comet racer (don't remember how many teeth) the smallest was great for Silverstone, but Cadwell's twists needed the middle one and the Three Sisters well........... the Three Sisters is different, there I used the biggest sprocket (54t I think) and never got into top gear. As for twin vs Comet, again the track will have a lot to say. My Comet was no where near as fast as the Egli (road bike playing racer) at Silverstone, but they were a lot closer at Cadwell, at the Curborough Twisty sprint the Comet would just shade it, and as for the Three Sisters ......... the Egli in road trim wouldn't have stood a chance. As Bill says the rider makes all the difference, but these are my recollections of my times on a road going twin and a race Comet. H [/QUOTE]
