cheap track bike

Seriously! Why do so many people think you are more likely to crash at a trackday than an afternoon of spirited riding on the street.

Yep, if you're just doing a track day and you ride within your limits I feel that there is a far less likelihood of crashing than on the street. No sense in owning two bikes just to do a few track days. Spend a little bit of extra dough setting up the street bike with good suspension and braking and you're all set.

Even so, I'm sure there are guys on here that could probably run mid-teens at Loudon on a stock R6.

I'm thinking about selling my '00 MZ Skorpion. It's a 660cc single (raptor motor). Small, light and handles well. It's KenC's old bike, and is a great starter track day bike, (I think Ken was under 1:20 at NHMS on it), but it is def down on hp compared to SVs or R6s. It's street legal, but for the track it has spare bodywork, wheels, a nice almost new Penske shock, etc etc. Asking $2k, and I'm not in a hurry to sell it so low ball offers won't be considered. PM if interested.

Pics? Street legal?

Yes, street legal. It's registered now because it's being used as my daughter's street bike right. I only have one of Ken's pics, and it was definitely cleaner back then. It's also in his book a bunch of times in it's street configuration and on the cover of the MA RMV motorcyclist booklet. I'll take some new pics when i get back from the NJMP TTD if you're interested. I can also create a complete list of all the extras if you're seriously considering it.

Overpriced. It has the 16" wheels instead of the 17" wheels. The only semi decent rubber made for that size wheel that i have found is the Pirelli sport demon.

pricing out parts to track the r6, seeing if its just worth going that route

Not being a smart ass but $850 is over priced? Just trying to learn here.

Im asking $2400, its a race prep SV. You can do track days on it without worrying about your street bike, if you want to step up into racing its great for that as well. EX's are great starter track bikes and theres plenty of people up there racing them and having a blast but.. its hard to argue that an SV isnt just as good of an option. The bike needs nothing hit me up via PM if you have questions.
