I've gained myself multiple bikes and out of the 3 I'm undecided what to do,

Triumph sprint 955i I probably might maybe keep.. its been rebuilt ground up and resprayed but I may sell it but that depends on the next part...

I have an rf600 age related marks was a non runner but it runs ive not investigated too far but it is mot ready now.

Yzf 1000 thunderace, been sprayed black, but the tank is still stock and in decent condition, I'll likely have it wrapped black too.. again not gone too much into it but I did give it a test last night and it was fairly good minus a few issues to be addressed.

Now which would be the better track hack...

Realistically I'd like the ace to be on the road but.. my only other option is sell the rf, throw the money at the ace to get it on the road, sell the triumph and spend out on something else for the track..

What's decent these days for track riding? I'm down in Kent so lydden will be the most common track as I can almost hear it from my house.

Out of those the Thunderrace stands out as being the most capable sportsbike, but none of them are really ideal track bikes. You really want something like a 2008 CBR600RR or a 2005 GSX-R1000. Personally I'd stay with the lightest possible 600 or maybe a 750 until I'm confident on track.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
