One track, one road.

[Horico]

I pick up my Scout next week and said hi elsewhere but spotted this section so I thought I'd share my track and road bike.  For road I have a Ducati Panigale 1199s and for track, my recently acquired K5 GSXR 750.  I've had the Pani for two years and last year did a few trackdays on it.  Unfortunately, I kissed the barrier at Rockingham and some repairs were needed.  The (un)fortunate result was coming across some carbon WSBK fairings for sale!  I've spent a lot of time getting them to fit using Dzus fasteners and also a one off aluminium tail tidy; I've also got a stripped and brushed aluminium fuel tank that just needs fitting.  

 

As for the GSXR, I picked this up about a month ago and due to the weather haven't ridden it yet.  It had a lot spent on it (approx £5K!) which are mainly all mods that will make it a better track bike so all I need to do is get some track bodywork once I've had a few road rides to get used to it.  Here are some pics for you to enjoy:

That duc looks stunning with those fairings. Were you on the national circuit at Rockingham? I love the in field circuit.

Had a k5 some years ago, it's still one of my favorite looking bikes, just couldn't get on with it. Did some trackdays to set it up but just didn't click with it, pity really.

Still have some spare fairings if you're interested?

It was the longer international circuit including the infield.  All was going well until i had a brain fart and went too wide onto the grass at 85mph (iirc).  Sorry to hear you didnt get on with the K5 - any idea what it was you didnt like?  Id be interested in the fairings - I need some spares for track work!
