Senior Road Test Editor Ari Henning met up with Mr. Casey at a track day at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. Ostensibly the rendezvous was to snap a photo for this article, but when Tate offered Ari a ride on the Gixxer, he couldn’t turn down the opportunity. Above is onboard video from the cockpit of the old GSX-R, a bike that Ari described as surprisingly powerful and very easy to ride. The liquid splashing about when Ari is on the brakes is gasoline from a freshly filled tank.
