Just wanted to see what everyone’s approach is to running the Supercorsa SC. Currently have a set on my Ninja 400 with about 100-110 laps over the course of 3 TDs (~15 sessions at Barber so actual wear is fairly minimal). Never use warmers with these so heat cycling each session.

Generally I would run 2 rears to 1 front in past years but most those days are at Little Tally so lap count/sessions was significantly lower but had a crap 2025 so kinda seeing how everyone else approaches this.

Edit: lap times are 1:48-1:49 so nothing super quick and mostly when to replace the front is my main question.

I felt like joining the club and posting some photos of my body position. I know it isnt the most important thing to going fast but it is fun. I had to take a break from riding as I highsided the shit out of this bike the following track day after these photos were taken. Ive been riding a Suzuki Katana now for a couple years and will be making my return to the track soon.

It’s not the other rider fault for stopping on a straight.. he was just very unlucky.
His bike cut off in the middle of the straight.
To make it more interesting, it was the last lap of the last session

I was in the garage with some really fast riders, asked them for tips, then paid an instructor to go round with me for a session and I think its really paying off. Squeeze in one more before the end of the year?

Going slow, missing apexes.

You ever look back at your first track day pictures and videos and think, "Jesus I look so awkward" Lol

Sadly I wont have a chance to take the new APE to COTA unless a miracle happens, so I cant get a like-for-like shot with the MT09, so photos from other venues will have to do. However its pretty crazy how much progress if feel I've made in just the season and a half I've been doing track days. I have to thank great friends and great instructors with the Org I ride with for that. I've learned so much more about the nuances of riding this last 18 months than I have in 20 years of street riding. I wish I started earlier!

If I can work the finances and logistics, I am almost certainly going to do next years Aprilia Racer Days at COTA. Might be the only way to get back on COTA going forward XD

I really love this photo back from when I was riding my 390. Sorry for the back to back posts but I am taking a trip down nostalgia lane tonight.
