Let's put it this way... I like riding a lot. I don't care how much I spend on something that I like. I don't go to clubs/restaurants. I don't drink/smoke. Think about it this way: People , spend $100-250 a weekend going to stinky, noisy clubs...Well, I add another 50-100 and I am on the track. Much more fun for me.

You be suprised how much the track days actually add up and can make a weekend of partying look very inexpensive. Depending on where you will be doing the track day/weekend will determine hotel costs and travel expenses in addition to the actual track expenses themselves. :biggthump that you don't go to stinky noisy clubs and that you don't smoke or drink.... the track is a more worthwhile investment.

I think the problem with begining on an inline liter bike is that people tend to use it as a crutch. Hauling ass down the straights to keep up only to brake hard and crawl through the turns. I'm not saying this will be you but it's very common and quite annoying. In my opinion you'll become a better rider on a bike with less power.

As for the ZX10 being overkill for the track...That was meant for trackday riders not professional racers.

I can definitely handle this. Money is not an issue in this case...

I understand that. What I was saying is that we are all different. For instance...A lot of people say that a liter bike is too powerful to learn on. Well, again, it depends on the person. If you read and experiment...You will learn how to handle that bike. I started on a liter bike. I am not saying that I am very fast. I am not. But I have 6500 miles and absolutely no crashes; never dropped the bike. You get used to that power. You explore your bike step by step. You will be just fine. Of course, if you're fucked up on the brain and want to show off, it WILL punish you. I really don't think that if you want to learn how to drive you have to start with a shitty, old car and move up. If you have patience and intelligence to read and learn, you can do very well on any car. But if the person is fucked up, then he can get killed riding a bicycle. I am going to try both 600 and the liter bike.

One thing I do recommend...do you first trackday with Team Pro-Motion. It's a great club. Very beginner friendly.

Good idea, being money is no object for you go for it. Some of the people here have ADD & Dislexia so their limited reading ability kept them from understanding what I was saying.

You have a great bike that's track worthy, but a 600 would be much easier for you to use on the track as a newbie, the 1000 will be harder. If you have patience like you said your skill will increase and maybe you'll be more comfortable on the 10 at a later date.

What the trackies failed to mention as well is that it's not about getting passed or passing, it's not about lap times, cuz in the end doing track days isn't about racing, it's about you having a great time on your bike and riding to your ability, not to the ability of others...if you want to race then quit trackdays and pick up a racing license.

Maybe I should've done a trackday last year so they wouldn't have anything to say...but don't ask me cuz what the hell do I know. LOL

Take their ART Basic Class...it's actually a requirement for those who never rode the track before.

You're right, track days aren't a race, but lets face it, it almost ends up being one, cause no mtter what, you're gonna wanna jockey for position, its just the way it is. At the same time, I expct the person behind or on the side of me to have total control at all times...someone runs into me because they lose control of their power and theres gonna be a problem...yea shit happens but they best control themselves...let bad5k1000 tell the story about what happened to him at Beaver...Gallo and the crew saw the whole thing, after the session Gallo ripped off the guy's "Red" sticker and made him sit out a session because he couldn't control his power and almost caused a naaasty altercation at one of the fastest parts of the track...cause Chris to run right off the track well into the triple digits...how he saved it he still doesn't know, lol. But yes, technically we're all out there for fun.

Not at all. While the TL is a fun bike to ride a gsxr 750 would better suit me. Good power, lighter and better handling than my TL.

And dont forget about my pythons
