turfpro Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Id like to take one of your classes in cornering and was wondering if I would be to out of place on a 1200 sportster? My lean angle wouldnt be what the other bikes have, and I wouldnt have as much straight away speed. Also would loud pipes be Ok on the track are would I need to put in quieter baffles? Would love to be able to lean over a little farther in the twistys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kane Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Turfpro, I have seen both 1200 Sportsters and Dyna-Glides at the Streets of Willow Springs and at Pocono - and they did just fine at both venues. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuman Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 We have guys come out on Harleys all the time and they do just fine. Loud pipes are fine as long as your not thinking about doing the school at Laguna (they have a noise limit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerboy Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I recently purchased a Suzuki VS1400 (my first cruiser) & can say my riding has improved ALOT. Reasons are the things that make it a cruiser (poor suspension, flexy chassis, LOOOONG wheel base, poor brakes limited ground clearance ect... made me get HAVE to get used to feeling the bike be all over the place which forced me to be smoother & more presice in braking & chosing my lines. When I get off that & back on my ZX I found I could push it more than I thought. Sorta like the batter swinging with 3 bats in the dugout before he's up to bat.
