Okay, so I'm considering racing next season, money permitting.
I'm leaning toward a 125, but am not ruling out other bikes/classes, depending on what I might find and/or find out about the classes. I'm having a hard time finding 125s for sale, and the ones I do find are our of my price range.
My street bike is not on the menu. I must get a second bike.
I would consider an ex500 or maybe an sv650. Also, I am considering a few year old 600, any make.
I'm looking to spend $3000 maximum on the bike.
The 600 is my last choice, because of the tire budget mainly. How do the sv650s and the ex500s eat DOT race tires? What are the caveats of each? And dont just say that one is a kawi. lol.
I'm looking for any input anybody has.
I ride an 03 R6. I've done 3 track days at NHIS, but this past one I clicked off a 1:27.5 (on film, no timing device) and another few laps felt even faster, but no way to verify.
I'm taking a rather systematic approach to nixing my bad habits and trying to slowly make progress instead of trying to make big changes.
