Re: New Yamaha R6?

D-Mode is "throttle opening sensitivity" or something like that.....it's "Drive-mode", I think.....?

Re: Yams at the Ring

I was watching that the other day. There are some very quick bikers round there and plenty of muppets. One thing that does stand out from the Ring videos is that your average car, even sports versions of saloons, are not built for fast track work like sports bikes are.

Took it into the garage for a service. However he wasn't in!! [emoji53] so one of the other garages in the area said I could pull the bike up into their garage for safe keeping so they can give it to my mechanic tomorrow! I'm happy about that and thought it was a nice thought!
