I just had my first bike track day on the 4th at VIR South. I've been on VIR Full in a car before, but that's my only other experience. I really liked VIR South even though I feared that I might not.
I ride an RC51, and they aren't known to be exactly nimble, though it did surprise me on VIR South's "Spiral". In automotive circles, I've heard that VIR Patriot is like an autocross course without the cones--not a lot of speed, a lot of low speed sharp corners, direction changes, etc. How is it on a bike? And more importantly, is it a course best suited only for modern uber-lightweight 600s?
I ask because I'm looking at track dates down the road that I can attend, and Patriot was in there a few times, but I want to make sure it's going to be flowing and enjoyable.
Thanks all!
