Question

Which Bike Should I Bring?


So I have been told that VIR is a very fast track with long straights on it, so my question is, will I still have loads of fun with the 500, or should I bring the 636 because it is better suited?

My answer wasnt good enough for you? Youve got room for both, take both. That way there is a spare available in case someone happens to do what someone happened to do last time.....

If I had an EX500 (and I well may come march) I do not think I'd bring it to VIR unless I had a ton of extra space in my truck/trailer and had no reason not to. Unless you crash your 636 and it's unrideable I don't think you'd have any desire to run the EX at VIR, it's long and fast like you said.

I thought the same thing when I brought my Motard down to VIR. Yeah, I was pretty much at top speed waaaaaaaay before the dogleg on the front straight but it still felt awesome. I have no regrets at all of bringing a slower bike to that track. You'll most likely have just as much fun on the EX as your sportbike, and if you dump it, it's no big deal seeing it's a racebike

If you have a track/racebike, you should ride it.

bring both...its the comfort of knowing you have a choice...especially going all that way

like...what if on the way down lightening struck your one bike...if you had two...you would still be ok
