now that reminds me....
I remember someone...Darryl Beattie? Gaz McCoy? Wayne Gardner? Mick Doohan ( I think it was Mick )
saying sumfing like that on an interview on RPM with Woodsy

I can understand what he means though......
the GPx is like that...does not want to turn in under brakes
not too sophisticated the ol' GPx...in that respect

feel the need to disagree here, my GPX turns great under brakes except when its being used under race conditions, ie turning at the last possible moment etc etc. Under general country high paced riding brakes no probs.
The sophisticated comments yeah well i dont need to comment here

sorry mate
should have added... my comments relate to the track (recent PI day)
out on the road, no problem...no problem at all
in fact, it has the luvverly well known and well respected Kawasaki front end
which (without all the hi-tech compression and bump and rebound adjusters) manages to hold its line and turn in nicely on the road...

yeah tracks different, although i do use brakes when cornering on the track i do try not to though

i generally try not to touch the brakes unless i'm totally upright. I've heard stories that have put me off turning/leaning and touching the brakes.

man..im ussually too busy worrying about not falling off 2 touch the brakes in a corner!!
