Following the post below, what makes a good Track Bike

[Dinnaz]

I've got a CBR 600 and recently got to do my first track day at Silverstone


I'm definately going back for more, but my bike stands me a lot of cash to chance anything happening to it.


So during the Christmas Season I'm on the look out for a good deal. I know the obvious ones like the GSXR 750 or early late 90's Fireblade, but is there anymore bikes with a little modifiaction that will make a good Track Bike.

Personally I wouldn't choose an early Fireblade as a trackbike, given the choice. I'd want something a little... slimmer. GSXR600/750/1000, R6/R1, ZX6/7R/10R, CBR6/9 are all popular. Don't discount smaller 400s if you're up for a challenge. Personally I think the 600s make a good all round package; you won't hit their top speed and yet you'll get a good amount of agility, without losing too much in acceleration over the bigger bikes.

Alternatively, you could get a set of track fairings and crash bungs for your CBR, those should pretty much save you from all but the worst of crashes.

I would say a Gixxer the size is up to you i heard the 96' versions to be quiet good, and the srads awesome, at the end of the day it goes by your budget im just lucky my mum and dad still give me money with out asking questions.

Also what is your budget??

Depends on your budget and what you are expecting from it.

Most sports 600's of the last decade CAN make decent track bikes, could be more down to ££££££ than outright performance....thats the way i look at it.


FZR600 + £££ could be loadsa fun
