MAKING THE JUMP

For whatever reason, maybe a 400cc just doesn’t excite you any more, or you ride a 600cc and are just sick to death of getting blitzed down the straights, to then be held up in the corners. The latter I’ve seen frustrate so many riders on track days.

Whatever your reason, it’s going to feel different when you switch to a big bike, meaning you will need to adapt to a new way of riding – and it’s not for the faint-hearted. If you’re an avid race fan, you’ve probably seen that even pro racers find it difficult to switch, with some extremely talented World Championship Supersport 600 riders unable to cut it on a Superbike and vice-versa.
