[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 42772, member: 60"] I know when we had a track day at Snetterton to run the racing Comet in and have some rides out on our track bike I was out on the Comet with some intermediate riders on crutch rockets. They blasted past down the straights but if encountered on the twisters sometimes the bikes close in front would suddenly heel over with arms and elbows scratching the tarmac while the Comet would majestically sail past with what seemed a much less extreme angle and power away for a distance before the inevitable happened and they came past again. Ignored in the pits before the sessions the Comet had lots of visitors later. I did not mention it was a lot more to do with rolling radius of their tyres compared to 400X18 AM23 and the fact it takes a good man to regulate the harsh amount of raw power on a modern bike when heeled over rather than the skill of the Comet rider or the fine Stevenage product [/QUOTE]
