Pegs scrape a long time before your exhaust, trust me! Centre stand only touched down on mine if I hit a rut mid corner, or if I was pillioning. It really depends on how much you load the suspension (I'm a lightweight, relatively speaking!).

we aren't talking about the bike bottoming out when u ride upright, but getting scrapage when u lean!!

just off the track a bit, does anyone agree that a ZZR looks a bit like a scooter

i was a learner as of a few weeks ago. Best way i find to get some scrapage, just go through some reasonably tightish corner, then just go for guts and just try to push through the corner as fast as possible, this will force u to lean lower and lower!

Its OK for a blat the road surface is not too bad....give it a go & start off at a pace you are happy with then do it again but faster
