Yep I will be up for it as well depending on the date as I work outside the UK. Have been twice before and will go again.

Do we have a date and price yet? And do they have smaller bikes for short people like me?

if it's the 2008 CBR600, they are TINY. i sat on one at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year.

I can get both sets of toes on the floor as standard!!!! all the way to the balls of my feet, i was amazed!

the earlier ones were a little higher but they are still unbelievably light, not like holding a monster up at traffic lights!

I believe they are new 2007 bikes (so new bikes for the school, but guess they get a better deal on new 07 than new 08 ). That is what the person I booked with told me...

I did it September 2007 - and that point they were 06 Bikes....

So that makes sense with what I was told. I am out on the first session of 2008 and we will be on brand new 07 bikes.

Well if you check the site ( The Honda Ron Haslam Racing Academy ) half of the slots have either sold out or are nearly full for the year, and that is 6 weeks before they have even started up. I think this could be very popular this year.

I completed the Premiere class on Wednesday this week and I went a long expecting to be a little disappointed following some off the negative posts regarding the RHRS.

Well actually I have to say that I had a bloody good time.

I wonder if any of the negative press has filtered back as the instuctors were consistently asking if we were okay with the instruction and did we have any questions etc.

Without doubt having a good instructor makes all the difference and my instructors claim to fame is..............Johnson escapes injury after 150mph off. | BSB News | Crash.Net

Yep David Johnson, he was really top notch, I explained that was my first outing on the track, so he spent a bit of time talking about track position and started out with a steady pace slowly building throughout the afternoon to a... whoa this is fun

I enjoyed the CBR600RR, it was very easy and assured to ride if a little souless.

I was lucky to have a supplier treating me to this, but overall I feel it was reasonable value for money, maybe it should be one track session longer.

Riding on a track for the first time was simple awesome and I now appreciate and understand why track days are so popular, so it is with excitment rather than trepidation that I look forward to my first track day on the 749.

I also feel that I will be much better equipped on the track due to this experience.
