how were the brakes better in beta3? 

@grT
Well...opinions...

@hawk
I tried you latest version and I don't think thats an improvement. When trying to load the rear it spins, or really takes some time till ready. My guess thats about 4 sec. slower on average than standard and since the grip transition is still very sudden you don't tend to have more slides but actually less. Well less successfull slides and more crashes 
I noticed that the best slides I had were all with groove. Thats not just with the Varese but any bike. Did somebody else notice this effect?

Okay it took me a while to do some small slides, haven't toutched the Varese in a while and this bike isn't really easy to ride.

I was about to go wide and safed it with a little slide

Found an old Replay in Paul Ricard doing some small slides at the fast right hander after the back straight, but after seeing this tiny vid took already an eternity to upload I suspended the thought of uploading another vid for now.

The thing is, you are either on full lean angle having some small slides or aim for a bigger slide at less lean angle. Problem is you need exact lean angel and throttle here or you are losing the rear one way or another. Perfect throttle, not enough lean and you either wheelie or have some straight slide. Perfect throttle and too much lean and you of course low side. Too much throttel and no matter the variaton, you hit the dirt. So it boils down to a lot of training. In the time I used the 500cc frequently it was possible to do that, but happened rarely. You don't provoke it, it just happens.

And from what you guys say even back in the day they weren't all sliding around, just the top guys doing it. If you practice in GPBikes you will be able to do it too so I think thats pretty spot on 
But that is only my opionion...

I will try your bike none the less hawk and see how it does.

hehe 

Just asking, but do you guys powerslide with an unloaded rear or an overloaded one? Because when I push hard with the 500cc on a fully loaded rear I tend to have some very nice slides.
If I accelerate with an unloaded rear too hard I am immeditely down, so I actually think the standard physics are pretty decent from what I have seen and heard of the 500cc.

Loop has a nice and very stable setup for the GP250, ask him or me if you see us online.

We can provide you with it so you have a good time while riding 

I was thinking the same as Beuker, didn't notice the apostrophe 

Well played Max, well played...

RIP Gixxer


I am pretty sure though he said prior to his death that I could have his Panigale in case something happens to him....

Your bike is awesome guys! I totally love it, from what I head it doesn't seem overpowerd to me. Don't get the problems some guys have. Normally I hate those little bikes because they are so easy to ride you have to push the hell out of them to get some good times. But compared to the 125cc it is quite stable even under heavy load.




TC and AW? you sure guys? I don't even get the bike to make a wheelie, even less have the rear slip away...

You actually have homework in University? 

Guess i choose the right place to study since I have random and totally rarely homework

Nice, I don't think it was bad, you could have been a little faster yes but the lap was pretty decent 

Sad to hear that, I appreciate what you did here and want to thank you for everything.

Hope to see you again 

I can try to watch the data recording next time when I get some slipstream, then I can says something definite.
If I say anything now it wouldn't be more than a guess...

4 bike length are about 9 meter.
In my opinion its too much.
i would agree 3 bike length out of personal experience where the draft takes a noticable effect.
Another story is when 2 bikes are driving next each other , in this case you´ve got a huge slipstream area (it´s like a bus driving in front of you).

+1

Looks awesome, thanks for your work guys!!

@Warlock
Yeah I think I'll be fine till next race in 3 weeks. Thx mate, I need any luck I can get. Those guys are serously fast 

@BOBR6
I race with an R6, something like stock 600 in germany.
Don't feel silly, I am still having problems to express what I mean properly with all those technical terms as English isn't my native
language. So in that regard you did answere my question just fine
