Went to Jennings GP here in north Florida near the Georgia border. Usually I'll ride the supermoto because it's crash proof and cheap but I had to get the FZ out on the track at least once to see how it goes! I will say that it's a little more work in the tight stuff but the power is on tap! The bike will go where you want it to go and traction control intervenes seamlessly. Felt planted, I didn't know I was triggering TC until I caught a glimpse of the orange TC light angrily flashing at me while I powered out of some corners. ABS didn't feel intrusive. I spent a lot of time in A and STD mode as B mode was twitchy. I left it in TC level 2 for the first half of the day and dropped it down to 1 for the second half. Oh, and the slipper does its job! Coming in hot and banging down two gears was no problem. One of my better laps- Track applicable mods on the FZ are the Yoshi Alpha muffler and mid pipe, 2WDW flash, Yamaha QS, Stoltec SS lines, and Nissin R1 radial master cylinder.

Some serious cold tearing on that tire. Maybe run a lower pressure next time.

I was running 26/28 psi, will have to drop it some more next time. For supermoto duty I run a WR450F! It will outhandle the FZ in the tight stuff but you won't see much past triple digits on the straights. Good cheap fun.

That's a beautiful WR!!😍 I used to obsess over supermoto but kept injuring myself (on the dirt mostly) and then I got old. It was good fun at track days showing folks all the imaginative ways to get through a turn😁
