If you could take a Moto GP bike out for a few spins, where in the world would you most want to do that and please say why. It can't be on any professional Moto GP racing track.

I would say Cadwell park but it would probably be too small for it, so I'll say the old Nurburgring.
I've driven 3 sisters in kart Dr, and it seems a bit short to stretch the legs of a 500?

Who's the gimp in the background with his arms crossed? Is that a serendipitous pic of Yumkie? He looks either disgusted or jealous.

I'm tempted to say Casey's 09 or 10 Desmosedici just to see what that carbon fiber chassis was like... or the 07 so I could tell everyone that the bike didn't ride itself contrary to popular belief.
But maybe King Kenny's 1980 YZR-500 at Laguna to see how ungodly difficult those bikes were in those days.

BJC's 2 stroke 500. He used the lap Schwantz on that baby. Does anyone have his number? We should give him a ring, he has all these bikes in his garage. Why fantasize about it when you can have the real thing

Wouldn't know. Never been there. All the twisty public roads I know
are too tight to open up something with that much power. I have TZ250s at Loudon
a very tight track which is plenty fun. Rode illegal ones on a public road
and it was just plenty hairy. A 500 in the canyons or something of that ilk
would not come under the heading of "Fantasy" just plain ole suicidal.

Yes, and then when you high-sided into a tree because you thought you had better throttle control than Mick, I'm sure some enterprising members here would fly out to laugh at you.
