Just had a great trip over to Parcmotor near Barcelona with No Limits and thought I'd share some RSVs gone wild pictures.

It was my first euro having ridden Cadwell 2 days and an evening so it was a nice surprise how good the facilities were and how wide the track was. Went over with MarkRsvr from on here and a couple of lads from TDR forum. Good relaxed atmosphere there and everyone seemed sound.


As you can see, there were a fair few Aprilias there. Next to my Gen 1 was a V4 Tuono, RSV4 and a Gen2 just behind. Plenty of RSV4s there, many more than I'd normally see at Cadwell but mine was the only Gen 1. As usual, lots of people told me how they used to have a Mille that they loved. Hard to escape the charm aye, even when there's much quicker bikes available now.



They put a camera on the kerb at the first turn for a while which made for some pretty cool photos.



The hairpin was the slowest corner there but thanks to a load of positive camber it felt much better than the hairpin at Cadwell.



This last left before the right to the finish line felt really quick.



Finally there's MarkRsvr, doing a much better job round the double apex left.

It was a great weekend. 3 days in a row gave plenty of time to settle into the track. The track itself blows Cadwell away to be honest. Much bigger and faster with no fiddly chicane or hairpin. Anyone else been?

Yeah that's right, asking about how much fuel to take. Im still very much a novice but I think you can have a lot of fun on a euro day whatever your ability. Some very quick riders there and some much slower than me - all had a great time.

Treat yourself next year badapple!

Funnily enough I was taking the Gen 2 down the back straight and start/finish. Modern litre bikes are in a different class though..

Been saying for at least the last 5 years that im going to buy a dedicated trackbike and stop risking my pride and joy but something always gets in the way and i just think f**k it take the ape out what could go wrong.......well I've nearly binned it on more than one occasion and got hit buy another rider a couple of trackdays ago so the last one i done was it for the aprilia.  Im saving for a trackhack told the missus im getting one this winter no exception and when I do I'll be coming along next time. 



Oh and good spot Diablo happy birthday fellaBig smile

You see  track bikes going all the time on TDR and Facebook. I'm tempted  myself because it'll probably be cheaper than getting track fairings and spare wheels etc.for the Mille.

Thanks!

Missed the perfect starter bike a few weeks back. Old FZR 400 with a tuned FZR600 Lump fitted, fully sorted and tons of spares for 1400 quid .

Your right mate by the time you've bought a load of Track kit a whole package makes sense . Think I should sign up to TDR didn't even cross my mind thanks.

Looks fantastic, glad you enjoyed yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say!

The only thing with prepping your own (Lots of cheap road kit still) is that you know the history and that it;s safe and not been bodged.

Yes, ideally I prefer to do my own bodging.

With a bit of cash I think that's the direction I'd go too. Only bad thing I've seen about the GSXRs are that the brakes can be a bit crap. That said, the RSV makes a great track bike too.

I love Cadwell but Parcmotor did that for me too. Just feels like a proper circuit. Makes Cadwell feel a bit like a go kart track now. 3 days straight was a bit of a luxury too..
