As i have sold my bike and miss it like mad i want to get another bike. If i get one for the road insurance will be silly again and i will only use it in the non existant summer also im going to uni next year so not alot of use for 7 months.
Soooooooo i am seriously considering a track bike. I have seen them on eBay go for like £1,500 - £2,000 which is pretty good.
I just want some advice on are they easy to go to (I have never been to one before) do the track bikes last long or not etc all that kind of stuff.
Been looking at some old school R1's.  Also is it something i can contiune to do at Uni (Aberdeen) |

You'd be better off with a 600 on track. Korn is faster round a track on his R6 than he was on his R1.
G feels the same about 600's. You'd be better off with a 600 IMO.

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

Yep, I think the early R1 is the best looking of all of them (and in that colour too )
You don't need a thou for the track though, and any parts will cost more. |

I won't have my car up there. Selling it for a jet ski when i'm there.
Will be putting that in storage and hiring a van (need to get a van licence, can do the same with a bike)
Are the tracks any good up there? Close to the uni? |

There are local loches and i am about 10 minutes from the north sea there. I could easily walk down. Jet skis rule. |
