Awesome!...Scary, even. Going off of the track, riding right up that guys pipe (around 3:30), at those speeds, just incredible. I have never road raced, so this stuff is definately intrigueing to me.
Why is every rider is dressed in head to toe Black? This is definately not in the US, where the riders wear every color imaginable.
Thanks for the clip!

Wow, 12 pistons of stopping power.

Rode a Buell with a similar setup and hated it, the front wheel was REALLY easy to lock up.

Buell brake

Eman,

Yes, I found the one 6pot on my M2 was quite enough. especially when it seized on, one day.

Hope it will work on my Tbird, have seen this modification here on ratnet.
Mick Maguire has done it on his Tbird:



Because my bird is a black one (more classic) i won´t use the ZRX wheel but a spocked one. Using a hub of an old Gold Wing and some aluminium and a lot of time
Here in the Netherlands there is Haanwheels , a specialist in spocked wheels. They will fix my wheel if possible with the rear rim (3.5 inch) of a thrux.

Never seen a posting of brakeproblems from Mick and never heard of braking problems with Kawa Zrx´s (the same weight as a Tbird)
So hope it will work, maybe your Buell problems came from the brakes on the rim-construction ???
