$1500 for a race prepped EX500, another $200 for some warmers, $400 for a trailer, $200 for a hitch & wiring harness, another couple hundred for a race license and I was pretty much ready to go from track days to racing for well under $3000.
With a bike that hardly ever needed tires (I sold the bike 2 years later with the same tires Yeah, they were junk ) I was doing 3-4 races a weekend for about $200-300 a weekend, total cost."
