Hi Ray,
I will concede that the RD will be much easier to live with on a racetrack then the XS.
I got invited to a trackday a few years ago by my son at Willowbank, which initially sounded promising, but upon arrival and seeing that the oldest bike I would be running against was an 1198 Ducati, put me off the idea. (secretly didn't like the idea of pitching the bike right at maximum warp at the end of the main straight) so I nuffed out and rode his ZX10 in the learner class to within 3 secs of his best time (first time on his bike, or radial tyres, for that matter)
Hope the weather is kind to you, mate, and that you have lots of footage to share with us.
