Good runs!
R1M was putting in work. I was surprised that ZX10 sky walked you.
Any idea of the rider weights? That’s really the main difference in all the modern liter bikes.
I have an S1000RR, when I was lighter(190 suited then) I was roll racing it a lot, but when I would run the 160-170lb (suited) guys on S1KRRs or ZX10s, I’d have fits. Now I’m about 190lbs in shorts (probably 210-215 suited)and I don’t even bother trying race them, I know I’ll get gapped.
When I first started racing sport bikes 20 years ago, I was 165-170lbs suited and I was beating err one....even riding their bikes for them I was 2-3 mph faster at the track. I got tired of being scrawny tho so....had to eat and lift.

Some nice runs in there! Thanks for sharing.
I live in FL so a lot of small guys around here running around @ 160lbs on literbikes. Even with me being a modest ~185 suited on a 14R they can catch you by surprise if they get the jump on you. That's why I added the spray for insurance LOL.
Luckily half of them can't ride worth a damn

I'm not sure of everyone weight, but I weigh 160lbs to put in perspective. Most of the guys are closer to 200lbs, the guy on the ZX10 that passed me up weight around 170-180 at most I would guess.
Those ZX10's have a crazy top end power and usually pull most bikes on the top end. S1000RR's and ZX10's are pretty much running things at this point when setup properly with a decent rider.

Some of these guys are part of Mr. ******* group, but yeah I have seen some of his videos recently. I actually just met a lot of these guys. I just ran into them one day while riding, they asked if I wanted to race and here we are lol.

Top Spec bikes. HP4, is an S1000RR with, added forged wheels, dynamic suspension, and carbon bits. R1M, is just an R1 with Ohlins electronic suspension and carbon bits. Both are collector bikes, the R1M only had 500 bikes built and each are serial numbered.
