The gulf bike ran like a clock the whole weekend but the clutch was slipping under full load mainly on the straight in the higher gears. My original RS250 was much more fun to ride once I replaced the broken throttle cable, just that little but harsher. More savage on the power band, brakes and steering. More fun to ride hard.
I will swap the front end, brakes, Giles rearsets, GP rear shock, expansion chambers and other bling bits from the old RS to the new one and sell off my old bike. The Gulf bike will be a real weapon with all the good bits on it.
The suprising thing for me on the weekend was that Heidi's RGV was just a touch faster on the straight right up until near the end when the RS caught up with it. Amazing bike the RGV.

I lapped faster on that than any other bike!
The RS250's are fast nothing at all passed it around the back of the track. On Sunday some quick guys on 1000's jumped into our group and passed the RS on the straight, we caught and passed both by turn 9.
Had the back wheel in the air under brakes into turn 9 and power sliding out. It was smooth controlable and just easy to ride quickly. I'm talking street rider quickly not racer quickly by the way.
