    I did get the suspension set up to where I think I like it. It felt to be very balanced fore and aft. I never felt jolted or sloppy. 

I need to go faster I guess. 

I sold this bike before ever going back to another trackday. I miss those times, but most of the people I used to ride with are also gone from trackdays.

Switching from the GS Adventure to the CBR was very different. The first thing I noticed were the brakes. The Blade stops NOW! I'm coming into turn one for the second time and I grab a little bit of brake to bleed off some speed, and find myself all but stopped at the track entrance, about 60 feet from the corner.
    The Blade's last street ride.

Lights were removed for track duty then the bike was sold a few months later.
