Well...here's me with Jason DiSalvo 1 year ago at a track day here in Vegas. I'm 6'2" and 215lbs. if that helps with a comparison.

Jason is tiny, but more avg. ht./wt. guys still kick ass - look @ Josh Hayes. BTW, was DiSalvo's fiance there? OMFG I'd love to tear that apart!

Better yet...look at the Erion Honda.

Unless you're at the top tier, your riding ability is what limits your wins. Go race.
