Yea, should be ok to drop you down, but should be fine in inters I'm sure - usually a big range of abilities there - and at least if you're the small fish, you're not being held up .
Note that it does also depend what's on generally - go to a trackday the day before a decent club is racing there and you can find some rather nippy people end up in inters.
Certainly when i was racing I've been booked into inters with others when turning up on the day and requesting fast - for various litre bike owners to end up with some less-inflated egos when they end up dropping back quickly from a gaggle of SV650s . |

Thanks for the various knowledgeable replies. I won't lie - its not what I wanted to hear initially but it does make sense.
Looking at it from a different angle now - instead of a trackbike/transportation and so on, how much of that saved money can be put into temporarily preparing/adjusting the ZX, or worst case making a 'crash fund' for the ZX
On the note of crashing - Blue mentioned a fairing swap which isn't a bad idea and would be an option. What other sort of 'track-protection' might it be worth putting some of the money I could of spent on a track bike into? Its currently covered in crash bungs/bobbins - saved it once being dropped on the drive but are they worth having on for track riding, or likely to cause more damage in most cases.
Would engine casings etc be worth looking at or is that getting ahead of myself at novice level realistically. Tyres wise as well - presuming i'll be riding there and back most days, would want road legals, what are some budget sets that are a nice mix. Currently using old pilot powers that have been masacred by europe touring this summer |

I used them on the minitwin, but not convinced they justified the extra over something like Carbone Loraine, which tended to be £40 less a pair at the time - especially on a bike with better stock brakes than the SV.
(Saying that, ZX = tokico = need the best you can get .) |
