Hi,
Looking to purchase a cheap, but in working conditions, a track ready EX500 or some other smaller(slower) than a sv650 bike.
Goal for this bike is for me to learn corner speed for few LRRS in 2015 while I will still be racing my SV.

Dude SV is the proper bike to teach you corner speed. You really don't need to go slower
Grom?
I went to MMI I know what Im doing here chief

Saw the pattern ... that's why I am tempted to do that for 2-3 weekends. Plus the gf came up with the "brilliant" idea that she wants to do track days/maybe race in the future so a very cheap EX500 may come handy...

I already have a SV Gen1 ... this is roughly the same, plus is way more $$ than I have in mind

Brake later, gas earlier

Send a PM to "kimber" here on NESR.
She has a GS500, former P-Twins racebike owned by both Chipper and Kurlon, that she's planning to post up any day now.

Not thinking another bike is the key here but that's just my opinion and here's the reason why I say this--> There are rider coaches at damn near every trackday event who can help with what ever you need on the current bike you race.
Jumping across bikes this early on in your experience might end up being more frustrating than rewarding.
Invest on track time and maybe some personal instruction? Going to a slower bike now won't make you faster.
Just my opinion though.

Twin turbo, Jim. One spools down low, the other takes over up top
Holding on for dear life? Optional.
Two things at play: If you're looking to learn how to better read and react on a bike with lower risk, skip the EX500 and drop right down to a pit/playbike. They get just as upset when pushed wrong as an SV but do so at far lower speeds keeping your flight time and peak altitude after ejection much lower.
If you're looking to improve your reference and action points on track to lower your times, track time is the best way to go about it. Track days, schools, one on one instruction, or just more races each weekend, whatever works best for you.
On corner speed in general, I'll pass on the same advice Eric gave me all the way back in 2008 when I first took Penguin, and it never clicked until this year:
Brake less.
Yeah, sounds flippant but it works. Don't try and move your brake markers more and more forward, leave them nice and comfortably early and just brake less. You'll have all the time in the world to settle to a comfortable pace through the corner while working on slowly upping your roll speed. Because you're coming in so mild you'll also have plenty of time to read that first signal from the bike that it doesn't WANT to roll and faster through the corner, it'll not want to tip in. No problem, just scrub a bit more speed THEN finish the turn and remember that you've now set your roll speed for T1 and move on to the next. Once you've got your roll speed set, THEN you can start to inch up your brake markers, using more and more brake in less distance knowing you've got plenty of time to hit a comfy roll speed.
For reference, I pulled 21s on my Ultralight doing this and as Sav can attest to my brake markers are so early it's comical.
