Some track day organisers do bike hire aswell, and I know that focused events dont like you using other peoples hire bikes.

I'll be up for Brands Hatch in may.

Generally you just turn up with your kit (lid & leathers) & licence, and hire the bike.

Usually costs around the £200 mark, and there usually is a deposit to pay.

Just out of interest why 600cc+ ? the R6 can be quick enough on track with the right rider.

I still wouldn't want to crash FE charge a £400 deposit I think.
You crash the bike you lose that deposit. Read the info carefully. Thumbs Up

im used to the torque the 600+ have, so i can pull out of graham hill WAY better.

most of the companies only charge for the damage you make, i.e scratches and a lever arnt gonna cost 400.
if i highside and smash the frame to bits, rather £400 then £4000.

They might be harsh though, ie lots of scratches=brand new panel from manufacturer. Just ring them and go over the fine details first. Thumbs Up

Just make sure your in the right gear. Laughing

Also a lot of track prepped sixes are going to be down geared any way, so will have plenty of pull.
