Titanium oval slip-on exhaust. Carbon fiber top clamp cover. I tiptoed my way around the track on my first of five laps to get comfortable. When I exited the infield for the first time and headed up the banking, I gave it a decent amount of throttle but was a little concerned about the transition from the infield to the banking because the stock bike had shook its Billet aluminum rear sets and carbon fiber heel guards. Carbon fiber slip-on exhaust. the slow parts and fast in the fast head rather hard at the same point. Not this bike. The Ohlins suspension could have cared less if it was a transition as if it didn't exist.

Yeah, the motor is absolutely amazing, but it's the chassis that allows also unsure of how much steam I was stuff, which I was confident would going to build on the front straight, so keep me highside-free. wanted was to blow the chicane for the sake of everyone's amusement. My next lap was also fairly conservative, but I had decided to go slow in the power to get to the track effectively. Granted at this point I'd only completed my sixth-ever lap around the track, but the Graves R1 made the track feel like I was riding on a billiards table. Everywhere that the stock bike had lost its composure and waggled the bars, the Graves bike simply glided through like I was on a magic carpet ride. A few places in particular proved the value of the Ohlins suspension, like the transition onto the aforementioned banking and getting through the kink before the back straight. Bucky's bike allowed me to stay on the throttle hard, while To say that I was tentative on the Graves Motorsports Ri would be a huge understatement. I don't think that owner Chuck Graves will be calling anytime soon to offer me a Formula Xtreme ride. 38 JULY 30.2003' eye I e n eVIls
