    I tracked my carbon baby in September at Knockhill and had a whale of a time.. but would have broke my heart if I had dropped it etc.. didn't feel that there was an accident waiting to happen, but I guess the unexpected can catch you out at anytime

    Yes, my SP does both but had accident in June (On The Bloody Road) and still haven't had it back due to ohlins backordered part. However have managed 3 track days and 4000 miles in total with OE fairings on :)

    Here's one for you then. B&W Bikes are running something very different next year. Essentially it's a track day, but in groups of 3 riders to 1 instructor, which should eliminate anyone getting too close to your comfort zone.

    I use my on track and road and replaced original fairings twice now from a track slide and a road slide but usually only one side and the nose replaced.

    Been meaning to put a track fairing on but not got the free time to keep swapping them for road use.

    tracked this baby twice at Brands and once at Silverstone.Yes it is a different colour than standard.The mint OE original fairings are put away in case anything went wrong.Was a little conservative at Brands Hatch to start with due to a mate on here Tristram breaking his leg on the 2nd lap.Silverstone was much better I learnt alot on that day especially brake points and how much you can push diablo rosso corsa's.Next year I have a pair of super corsa's and a HM dash to try out.

    Yep I've tracked mine a few times with oe fairings. Would love the space for a track and road blade.
    Any way whats the point of a blade without ragging the shit out of it....best place for that is the track or the IOM
