Here is some on board footage from some superbike on other in the 'intermediate' group from a trackday. The group 4 of Charlie/Stuart and gp6 of Guy Topper are around 4 secs a lap quicker than these guys.

I always spend ages on You Tube, watching races on onboard cameras!
I start to get caught up in it all, and get a bit nervous whilst watching it, and then start leaning left and right at my desk whilst watching!!!
Always out in on full screen and get close up!

This is more race pace. On board a Suzuki rg500. The opening lap is 4 secs quicker than the current scooter record. Says a lot for the corner speed of the humble vespa(oh and lambretta) eh!

i reckon it woul be a bit mental especially if you had some work on it to get it to about 90/100hp from its standard 70, thing is when i rode one the power kicks in a bit mental, at just over 6000rpm it goes mad, good mad tho but in a lammy frame and possibly tuned you need ya head examined
