Finally! Today the BOTT M210 lapped for the first time at Cheste (Valencia, Spain) circuit, with Alex Martinez at the controls.
This first test was made with the sole intention of riding a few laps to make sure everything was OK and that the bike had no problems. In fact we went to the circuit without timers, without pitboard, and the intention of not working in the bike setup, not even adjust one click of the suspensions. Before heading of to the track we had some worries, because our friend Murphy is always lurking around so you never know what will happen.
Fortunately everything went well. Alex was running smoothly, rode a total of 30 laps in batches of 5. Personally I was surprised (and a little worried) about how quickly and surely he was lapping the circuit. Overall Alex was very happy with the BOTT M210, enjoying the ride and having a good feeling about the bike.
And with something like that, logically the whole Bottpower team left Cheste with a smile from ear to ear, and with renewed courage to continue working hard to make our bike competitive. From now on we will train as much as possible to achieve an optimal level as soon as possible with the intention of running in one of the last races of this year’s CEV (Spanish Championship).
We do not have the final fairing yet, so we went to the track with a CBR fairing and a tail that somebody lend us. The exhaust pipe is also not the final one.
Finally here’s a little video that shows the M210 the first time it comes alive.
