First track bike pricing

[shortbus]

and I wouldn't hesitate to buy that one from Gino. he's a trusted person and he's a lot closer.

Checking it out Thursday night, It seems like an sv650 is a great bike to learn on from what I've read.

Wish it was fuel injected, but that's not really a big deal.

How do the gen 1 SVs keep up on the track with later model I4s, both riders being beginners? Few buddies of mine are doing a day or two with me after I get comfortable with a tony day or two.

Don't even worry about bike vs bike. It's all in the rider until your an advanced rider. Yes they will pull away on the straights. But, know that it makes it even better when you pass them. The SV isn't just a good bike for a beginner. It's popular in racing something you won't grow out of. I though an SV was going to be lame until I rode one.

This

I've passed 1000rrs and gotten absolutely smoked by motards, don't worry about the bike and who is faster just go have some fun damnit.

[Awesome]

That claimed '06 cbr600 has 03/04 forks and brakes. I'd bet it's not an 06 at all.

Agreed. And with all the stuntah stickers on it, suspension, clutch, and drive train is probably trash. Just assumptions...but things to look for.

Can't really tell from the pics, but the front brake fluid reservoir should be a dead giveaway as well. Plastic one is from 05 and up, 03/04 has the metal one.

I PMed him, thanks... I hadn't gone that far back in the for sale section.

[Jim]

I'll text Ryan if he sold it

[Pigman]

Hey give him a call......he said make an offer

[shortbus]

Checking it out tonight, thanks everyone

[Pigman]

No problem.....its a real good start and we have pitted w/Ryan since Day 1----------good guy sad to see him sell it

[shortbus]

Bought ryan's R6, picking it up Thursday night, thanks for hooking me up.

Can't wait to get it on the track. Gonna do a penguin school day to get my license and figure out what I want to do after that next.

[CBR929RE]

nice.

Have you ever been to the track before? You don't need a license to do trackdays. Penguin has the track experience day, the non-license track day, on most of their event days.

I would also recommend doing a few track days before you jump into racing. You don't have to but it sure can help your success rate. The track day is a nice structured environment with plenty of instruction to help you around the track in a safe and effective manner.

Then go racing and kick ass.

Congrats.....

Was going to get the license doing the penguin beginner course, then I'm not sure what kind of track day but I want to definitely do a few before racing.

Basic Course
The basic course includes our school guidebook "Basic Road Racing" by Jerry Wood, classroom instruction (discussing bike preparation, riding techniques, flags, rules and track survival) and most important plenty of riding time! Following the classroom you will be introduced to the racetrack while riding in small groups, each led by an expert instructor. The balance of the day will be open practice sessions where you can ride at your own pace and practice what you have learned. Short, riding specific classes will be run between your afternoon sessions. There will be instructors available at all times to help with any questions you may have. Riders successfully completing this course will be issued a certificate that will enable you to get a racing license. You can then purchase your license at the track so you can race that same weekend.

I think what Adam and JC are saying is that the "beginner course" is actually more advanced than a track day.

If I understand things correctly, the beginner course is normally followed by a weekend of racing, starting with the rookie race, and assuming you qualify in the rookie race, then signing up for whatever races you and your machine qualify for (this is still a mystery to me).

Track days are for any random idiot. There is minimal machine prep (and I'm pretty sure this bike already meets it) compared to racing and lighter gear requirements (but gear requirements vary by organization a bit).

The "normal" sequence is a few track days, then the beginner course, followed by one's rookie weekend, if I understand things correctly.

So a tony's day to begin?

[jasnmar]

Tony's is a good option. Penguin also has a "track experience" program, that from what I understand is a "track day" (it seems to be the same dates as the race school, but the curriculum is different). Tony's and Penguin are also doing some sort of co-marketing sort of thing, and you can find info at http://www.tonystrackdays.com/catego...gistration.htm.

BostonMoto is an option as well.

I'd certainly start with a track day rather than the race school.

[Awesome]

The beginner course doesn't teach you how to ride on a track, it teaches you what you are required to know about the rules of racing. Track riding, technique, and motorcycle physics is minimal in that program.

congrats. glad that worked out for both of you
