Deemester,
If you could "duplicate" yourself and put one of each of you on a 996 and a Hayabusa and set off from long flat up the mountain to Gingers Creek, I would suggest that the 996 mounted deemster would be there first.......for a number of reasons, changing direction constantly for about 40k's through corners marked from 25kph to 60kph the 996 would romp away with it's quicker turning, great drive, better braking and lighter weight, you (the Bus Deemster) would be absolutely knackered from heaving that whale from side to side through that road, the surface is also very tricky with moss growing on it in the shaded turns (and that's a lot of them) this time of the year. you would also be worried about gassing it up out of the turns.
Anyway, it doesn't matter does it? as long as you get there in one piece. There will always be someone quicker out there, the last time I was up there a local guy from Port Mcquarie blitzed us all on a 600.
I am not critisising the bus, I just know that road and if I was going up there with a "point" to prove I would leave my Hayabusa in the shed and get out a more appropriate weapon.
Mind you once past Gingers creek there are some of the best wide open sweepers and straights in the land. Ideal territory for the bus.
