Laguna Seca Test Session Pictures

Hi gang...I live very close to Mazda-Laguna Seca
Raceway (2 minute ride) and I had a chance to pop over
there while they were testing. Here's a link to some
pics I clicked off if anybody wants to see 'em! I was
glad to see it was Honda only...no 'stinkin' Suzuki's!
That new CBR1000 RR is pretty racy looking in person.
Looks like Miguel was riding the old one around too
for comparison.
