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!).

i had my zx2r so low the otehr day i was scraping my helmet on the ground god dam i was so low, i was able to lick the road! and NO i didn;t fall off either!

my mate is forever scraping the shit out of his centre stand! its quite amusing when u see a fireworks display coming from under his bike!

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

yer not leaning far enough then! i just think they look a bit like scooters with the mufflers located where they are and the seating position. I dunno just my thoughts!

Heres a hint........................ go as fast as you dare round the corners
but dont get caught!

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

can you scrape the mufflers on the pavement with a GPX250?
