Went for a big ride yesterday that incorporated the Eildon-Jameson rd. I have a 2000 zzr250 and was with a couple of mates on their 600s (r6 and 675). These blokes are frequently impossible to stick with until the road becomes a bit dirty.
Once there is a little detritus on the road the zzr suddenly becomes the fastest. Why? Has anyone else experienced this bizarre phenomenon?
both my mate's claim to be losing the front and generally having a bad time whereas the little sports tourer just wobbles a bit and ploughs through.

possibly because the zzr250 (and the gpx250) tends to wobbly everywhere, and you're used to it; and they're not

Possibly. I have had the bike and my l's since late August and the have had theirs for over a year and are both far more experienced and far better riders. I wouldn't say the zzr wobbles everywhere, just everywhere its moving.

My question being, is there a set of conditions where a softly sprung, prehistoric design, upright riding position and cross plyed motorcycle bike is at an advantage? (apart from on the Hume hwy)

I think you are over-analysing it?
Maybe you don't know enough to know when to be scared?

Ill go with the ignorance then Brett. My mate's are telling me that slower corners suit sports routers but I like your answer more.
