H2R is bumpy!
Took the SV out for its first track day and WOW I just about freaked in the first session because I thought my suspension was crap. The bike was bucking and throwing me about so much and I don't remember anything nearly that bad on my DRZ last Fall.
Apparently the winter has been tough on the track conditions. I dialed my rear suspension preload much softer and learned to ride through the bumps. Overall still a great day at the track but I'm sad that it will be my last in Texas. :-( |
it's definitely gotten a little rougher since last year ....CCW hits the worst of it, but it's really not that bad....
Damn Turn and the Back straight certainly move you though...I have a video up on facebook and you can just see the camera bouncing in a couple spots. |
I've ridden at TWS, Cresson and MSR-Houston. Never seen a track surface deteriorate that much in 6 months. Crazy!

Psh, when you have long travel suspension, bumps become whoops! Or jumps! ;)

Houston fell apart within the first year, last year it got really bumpy. The previous property owner was a rice farm. Swamp. Not usually good as road base. ECR has had their own issues. Cresson has been great, but then look at the rock quarry next door to it. |
Any of you guys ever heard of Oak Hill in Henderson, TX? You'll never think any other track is bumpy if you have...
