I think your poll choices leave a little to be desired.
I wouldn't say improving confidence in yourself and the bike would translate to better road riding skills for everyone, but I wouldn't say it had no value either |

Knowing the limits of your vehicle is always going to be a big plus, no matter how you discover them. It's called experience, and there are lots of different ways to gain it. ____________________ 3516 Miles, 11 Countries |

Since starting supermoto I find my bike control improved, I ride on the road (SV650) a lot smoother than before, I'm not a fast road rider any more, I used to try and go fast but now I just aim to be smooth and in complete control! (I'm not exactly slow though) I know my bikes limits more since track days, the KTM and SV are different, but bike control is bike control.. and riding the KTM has improved general bike control. Biggest increase in bike control was after Lydd track day on the WR400 supermoto. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

The book I've been reading, Sports Riding Techniques, uses examples from the track as a lesson for the road, so I would say yes. it does help. Good read ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/

Like Keith I can see a potential hazard where a rider may expect to be able to ride on the road exactly as they did so last week on a trackday, without adjusting their riding for the road surface/traffic volume etc.
But then again, like Korn said - bike experience is bike experience. The more hours in the saddle the more experience you gain.
