Hi JF, the 996 is the best sounding bike ever and it rides really well on the track. (Owning one of these I know about this.) BUT - Looking at you - th-cam.com/video/qZ4WGxXK5ho/w-d-xo.html : Owning a Supermoto and a 996 I have to say: You should do some practice! A Super Moto has about half the power you have in your 996 and your chassis is much better prepared for a race track. => This bike shouldn't have been an opponent to you on this track... ;-> BUT: Always stay on top of your bike and have a lot of fun (as I have)...
Thanks for your comment. I totally agree I need a lot more practice and intend to go to every track day I can, I'm not setting the world on fire! but this was my first track day ever and I was being very conservative as I'm just getting a feel for track riding. There are some pretty loose cannons on the track from what I've seen and I really don't want to get tangled up with one and trash the 996. Hence I've bought a 959 Panigale that I intend to take to the track next which I hope will be less precious about. Cheers!
@@hotspringbop The most important thing is that you have a lot of fun! ;-) P.S.: Edit The 2nd most important thing is that you stay on top of the bike and don't crash...
That a 20 yr old bike , goes well I got one 1999 , 996 , they can be souped up and no computer deciding what you want
Love the old girl the sound is fantastic.
Nice ride. I may have a solution how to fix your fuel reserve light
Thanks. I do run it on reserve fuel usually. So I believe it is coming on and off as the bike leans over etc. Is that what you mean?

Track days are great fun, such a great way to get a feel for a bike made for a track. All the best!
