I ve got a 05 Honda CBR1000RR, stock other than Yoshi pipe and tinted screen, took it down to Phillip Island Yesterday and practacly got washed out!, I fond it pretty hairy riding around the island in the wet, dont know how those superbikes and moto GP guys do it, anyone got some times they have done a lap of the island in?, i know moto gp guys are around 1:30, Im told anything under 2min for a street rider/bike is half reasonable

yammy 350 RD
honda 750/4
kawka 900 ( fastest road bike at the time 132mph )

and current bike is a loonnnggg time build..

1957 panhead chopper, straight leg rigid frame, 93" S&S motor with
upswept, straight thru fish tails, 59 gas tanks, kick start only ( thats why the limp ) hit a bump at 80mph half way rthru a corner and you are air born with a busy agenda !!!! juice rear end and twin floaters up front, 3' primary belt drive..etc

I took my CBR1000RR around the island at the afterburner track day after the World Superbikes last year. It was the first time I had been around the track and my best lap time was around the 2 minute 1 second mark. I think with practice, I could knock a few seconds off of that though. Here is a pic of me at the island:

and my tyre afterwards:

Great shot!!, looks like its taken coming out of siberia, 2min 1 first time around , thats pretty impressive,well done, I am going back to the Island next Friday to do level 4 superbike school, hopefully I can post some good lap times, will let you know how I get on, thanks for the info

[HDVZMonaro]

Yep, you are right, it is coming out of Siberia. I think Siberia and the last turn onto the front straight are the best corners on the track. The run from Southern loop to Honda corner, with the little left hand kink can be quite deceptive if you don't get your braking marker sorted out.
