So over the winter I am looking to pick up a second track bike for track days next season as it just isn't feasible to run multiple track days on my motard and run a competitive racing program. The plan would be to race this bike for 2014 assuming my budget at the time allows it.
From what I can see, everyone races r6's or gsxrs. I've ridden both on the street, If I do this, I want an r6. I like the feeling sitting "on top of" the bike the r6 gives as compared to sitting "in" the bike the gsxr gives. My mind is made up here, so I really do not want to learn about the gsxr or hear why they are better. We all have opinions, I know that, and this is mine.
In a perfect world, I would buy another d675 as I owned one for 2 years and absolutely loved the bike. If I was buying a track day only bike I would get one in a heart beat, but with potential racing plans I think I have to pass. Even with the new triples fixing the lack of feel in the front end, I'm not sure how competitive they really are in the expert ranks (without boat loads of cash)...plus the triples, along with a slipper (as its the only middle weight that doesn't have one), are huge money that may put it out of my potential budgeting. If I'm wrong, someone fix my opinion here.
Back to the r6....Is there a special year r6 I want? Why? Remember, I'm not a millionaire so I can't afford a brand new bike, so if 2011 is the best year, I'll have to pass on that.
Looking to get as much information as possible, so please feel free to give me the life story of your bike, past bikes, whatever. I'm pretty blind going into this and its winter, so amuse me.
