Hey guys, this past weekend loaded the bikes up and drove up to Thunderhill in Willows CA for a track day on the new CBR and the olddd VFR. Weather was awesome at around low 90s the whole day. Started off the first half of the day riding the VFR and ended the last few sessions on the CBR. Now the VFR is my baby, but whoa was the CBR fun! Mixed some 101 octane race gas 50/50 with 91 pump gas and took her out! Now we all know that the 250 has nothing going down the straights, but in the turns it was on rails! I was surprised at how well the stock Dunlops stuck through the turns, and was never doubting them. Bike ran perfectly (with me occasionally hitting the rev limiter, oops) and was a blast at the track. The 250 had plently of torque through the turns, i even passed a person on a R1 and a GSXR600, (granted they were probably new to the track.) As expected every other bike out there blew by me on the straights but i did the best i could! 
After a few sessions out i was able to lap consistantly at about 2:35, and on my VFR 750 i was able to lap at my usual pace of around 2:17 (I drag a knee in most corners on that. Surprising huh? a VFR!) . The VFR was in B+ group (2:15-2:25) and the CBR in the B- group (2:25-2:45), (A pace is 1:55-2:15) Overall had a great day rolling rubber. Below i have some pictures of the bikes and also a link to the website of the photographer who took some on track pictures. I cant link them directly because there just too **** expensive. Look for the VFR and the CBR. Link to website with track pics,their mixed in with all the hondas:
