well the line you take is the most important thing, aswell as gear, you need the power for exiting, i guess and 998 or 748 would do pretty well, hows your 9r running? i recall you had some problems with gears? sorted?

Gonna be taking it apart and pokeing at electrics over the next week or two (before BdB hopefully).

G, time for a new bike mate! brand spanking, shouldnt let you down, though you may take it a lot easier on track as its new, but i got knee down 2 days after i took cbr out of showroom!! hehe, though it was a 250 2t for a couple of mins!

Don't do new.

I'll just crash it then lose loads of money.

Probably looking for a track 6 next... for track stuff this time and might kinda consider a little bit of rookie racing next year, but lots of £££ Crying or Very sad

can pick up 96 cbr, race fairing, spares, wheels engine bits, for grand or a little more or an R6 for 2.5k...

but your right once you begin, the more you become in debt!

im after an old cbr or zx6-f/g then ill get a trailer and im sorted!!

cant really afford to take a new bike on track everytime, especially if i drop it Mad

and will push track bike more, as itll be an old shitter anyway!! Very Happy

I've been looking at pretty sorted r6's with spares for around £3500. Got the car... now just need our own trailer.

Oh yea .. and some money to do track days and buy track bikes Smile

yeah most important thing is alway left last!!

only problem with buying older track bikes is that they've been thrashed on hundreds of tracks and probably need new bearings all round and i doubt the gear box is in good nick! so its hard to come across a good track bike, unless its fairly new and you have some history and check it ain't been crashed (ie frame bent etc!)

keep your eye on ebay always some nice ones flying about!

good luck

do let me know if you come across something cheap and nice! Rolling Eyes

thanks
