Iirc an r3 with a competent rider was in the 1:45 range.pretty awesome.That's great. People always say there is no replacement for displacement but it just goes to show you what a light bike with good suspension and modern race tires will do even if it doesn't have as much motor. I managed to get to the Moto America race in July at Laguna Seca and the fast Junior Cup guys were pulling 1:36/1:37 around that track... They were only around 10 seconds slower that Gagne... Bloody Incredible
My best time ever around Mosport on my old GPZ750 twin shock was 1:44 and that was only once. It was probably a lot more frightening as well. Riding my track bike was like being towed around on a couch compared to the GPZ... LOL
