So Phil, is a 1000cc track bike on the cards now..

Would love too, but couldnt justify it for the limited amount of time I would get to use it.
Besides, now I'd need a crew to get it prepped, take my warmers off & in etc

Quick queston phil, does the asbk bike make the 210 hp they are rumoured to make?

Despite all the bikes he has ridden, I doubt that even Phil's arse-dyno would be able to specify
exactly what hp the ASBK bike was putting out

Exactly Gos, felt quite fit and the asbk bike had substancially more midrage AND top end than the FX bike.
I can quite confidently say they both make more than my ZRX or Z

Was it Ben or Glenn riding it?
Not that it makes much diff, they are both bloody quick. Glenn was doing times about 1 sec off what he did at the FX rounds this year on the new HP4 that is still very early in it develpment stage, like he'd done 6 laps on it before yesterday

Couple more pics from Ray
asbk bike in the 2nd (short cause of knobbers crashing) and 3rd session is the one with the shorty Akra, FX/Prostock bikes in the first session is the one with the longer Akra can.

Nice lean angle mate!
Doubt I'd get the ZXR to do that but I'll try!

Good one Phil. This might make Christmas a bit of an anti climax though. Some good photo's from Ray as usual.

So after this Phil, surely you must be shortlisted for the team for next year?
