    A few pics from my yesterday's ride to Lavasa.

    Pics taken by Captain Nandu Chitnis

    All shots were pan shots so please excuse a few blur images

    The RTR is really easy to throw around corners & curves

    leaning just for the sake of it is pointless except maybe to look cool, you will still be passed by the other guy whos using correct body position to keep the Bike upright and is on the gas harder through the corner than you are coz he has more contact patch on his tires as a result of keeping the Bike as upright as possible.
    Lol so true There was this R15 rider who was leaning(body shifting with knees scraping the road) amazingly but after a few runs of his we figured he was going slower than me & my knee was hardly any close to the road.

                    Pics from this past weekend at Chennai. Finally got to put some decent time on the R6 and get into a good rythm. Best time 1:53.14 with more to go once the suspension and sprocketing is set right. Corner speeds between 120 and 160kph

                            • A question from a novice in leans riding a Gladiator around corners.
                              Here's the method I use to corner.I wanted to know if I am doing it wrong.
                              I am learning to enter corners at the speed of 60 for a start.
                              As soon as the corner approaches,I slow down to about 55 take the outside edge,lean the bike into the corner and gun the throttle while it's midway in the turn while leaning towards the inside of the track.
                              Is this the right way? Should I release the throttle completely during the turn and gun it as soon as I am out of it?
