Keith Code is a bigger drawback than an elephants foreskin.
Nobody is trying to turn it into a sportsbike at all. All that's happening is at decent track pace it shows a few shortfalls in the bikes basic design. It doesn't need much to dial these out. It's not a case of riding it like a sportsbike. It's a case of when a reasonable pace is reached a few certain basic riding techniques are required. Trail braking, loading the front, carrying corner speed at high lean angles. In these situations a few small features of the bikes design are at their limits.
It is fun. It's huge fun. That's why guys like myself are pursuing it. Because the bike, once a few tweaks are made, is very capable and a riot to ride. It's not like a finely tuned pure sportsbike. It likes to be ridden loaded up. It moves around, it bucks, it likes to be ridden hard and aggressively. The fun is getting mugged at the end of the straight by an R1 then out breaking it into the next corner and clearing off on the exit with the thing shaking, moving, and making all kinds of shapes.
