I spent a few races corner working this past season and now I want to get out on the track. At least for a few track days at first and then possibly out for some novice racing.
Im not sure what to do about a bike though, im new to a lot of this.. especially the world of salvage bikes and so on.
Heres what im working with, Id like to spend about 2500 or so on a bike. AT least until I know its something im going to continue with. Im going to start with track days and maybe a penguin school and then see about racing from there.
I have two bike options in the garage for track days:
01 Triumph TT600 my daily ride
95 GSXR 750 beater that needs body work anyhow.
I can cut the body on the TT and put sliders on it.. then run the track days. I can run the GSXR 750 but I think it would need too much work to make it comfortable on the track, but I really dont care about the bike.. am thinking about cleaning it up and selling it.
I was thinking about an 00-01 SV 650 as a track / race bike But I also have a friend with a stock 01 Ducati SuperSport 750 that needs a fuel pump and plastics and has no paperwork (he says it as imported form Italy by someone in the military) that I can buy for $1500 and ship up.
What would you suggest as the bike to use? I really dont want to go the EX 500 route, and Id like something that I can race and then sell if I need be for close to what I paid for it, to get something nicer when the time comes.
Thanks for any insight.
