Product Highlight: Motion Pro Quick Turn Throttle
Here’s a great product for track day junkies like me, or wheelie addicts alike! Though I have yet to test the item on track (looking forward to doing that this weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park), this item should appeal to a wide variety of sportbike riders.
What I’m talking about is a quick turn throttle, in this case, one manufactured by Motion Pro. Renknowned for their wide range of cables, tools, and other motorcycle accessories, Motion Pro comes through again with a quality product that will help you get the most out of your sportbike.
The idea behind the quick turn throttle is that it allows you to get on the gas quicker and harder, by opening up your throttle faster. The colored lobes in the picture above are interchangeable and are different sizes, allowing a rider to choose their preferred rate of ‘quick turn’.
In the real world, getting a better drive out of a turn is often hindered by one’s mind, and hand. This throttle will help get you accelerating faster, even though your throttle hand will not have to turn as far to achieve the same amount of throttle opening.
As for me, I know that a few highsides driving out of turns on the race track has caused my mind to not allow me to open up the gas as hard, or as early as I’d like. I think that by forcing the issue by changing the ratio at which the throttle opens will translate into real world results..which means I’ll be able to keep all my track day buddies behind me. Or so I hope!
Will keep you posted after some testing with it this weekend, but at 130 bucks, it sure seems to offer a lot of potential, and bang for the buck. Just hope there’s not another highside, and that my traction control works!
