The runoff issue should not concern a track day rider. If you were racing, then the odds of actually reaching the airfence due to higher speed is more likely, or for someone to bump you into a wall.

The surface is a challenge for those not used to it, but it's not dangerous. They do have to patch T12, though, which I hear is happening.

And the VFR is fine for running at NHIS. As you state, it's not a track bike, but who cares. Ask the guy on the 800 pound BMW RT or the two guys on the 250 Ninjas how much fun they had at the last track day (the smiles were very toothy) and you realize that what bike you bring doesn't have to matter. The VFR will drag its pegs, but some body positioning and smooth inputs make it a decent ride.

and the guy on the gold wing this past two day event... Also had a SV. Rode that just one session -then the rest of the time loved the gold wing.... fun to sit behind:-)
