You won't be catching any R6's on the straightaways, so use the grunt/low end power to get on the throttle early and give yourself a head start (doesn't help that I'm fat, and on a first gen which is more down on power than yours). Typically, I catch/pass everyone in braking zones more than anywhere else. Everywhere else it's an awesome track bike, but it definitely is missing out in top end power. Personally, I can't ride an I-4. I've gotten too used to the narrowness of the triples. It's a great bike, even more so on the track.
