trackday bike ?

dubtom

Any suggestions for a good trackday bike? 600cc or bigger. I drive an F6C and have driven a bike for nearly twenty years on and off,but never on a track,always something I'd have wanted to do though. Obviously a good runner is a must but does the generall condition of the bike in matter. I mean would mondello have an issue with me turning up on a complete rat of a yoke,twenty years old etc. Would anyone have any suggestions on a model and perhaps minimum age I should consider,perhaps something that would still have a good spares selection available for it.Any suggestion appreciated.

I'd echo the CBR for the sheer number of them available and parts availability. Any other Japanese middleweight would be good too, but there are tons of CBRs out there. If you were inclined to go to the UK, you'd pick one up for very little.

If you wanted a bit more power you could go for a Gixxer 750, but if you're just getting to grips with track riding, a 600 will be plenty and you'll be able to concentrate on your technique instead of worrying about trying to lay down the power of a bigger bike

Cheers for that.

Grab yourself either a Honda CBR400 or Suzuki SV650 trackbike and learn how to ride one of them first.

You will build up better corner speed on a smaller capacity bike, and you'll also avoid the hefty tyre bill that comes with riding a 600. Then a few months down the road you could consider moving up to a 600 when you have learnt your trade on a smaller machine.
