Hey guys, so I've done a couple track days with STT now at Autobahn and Blackhawk. I have two bikes right now - a KTM 690 Supermoto and a 1290 SDR. I took both bikes to Autobahn and decided to give the SDR a whirl on the track. I had fun but I wasn't comfortable on the bike and simply think it's too much bike for me being a novice to track days. Simply put, I am MUCH faster on my 690 than I am on the Duke. With that said, I thinking of getting rid of the 690, keeping the Duke as my road warrior and buying a dedicated track bike. There are tons of bikes in the classifieds but I just don't know enough about track bikes to know what to look for. I know that I want a 600 (or maybe a 750) but nothing bigger. My budget is about $7K. Any recommendations on certain brands and years? Any input is greatly appreciated. If you know of anyone selling a bike local to Wisconsin area, let me know. Thanks in advance!
7k budget you'll be able to get a great track prepped bike. Look through the classifieds on the forum, their is quite a few on here!! Good luck!
Spend ~4k on a bike, pick up a genny, warmers, a trailer and blow the rest on a loyalty card, gas and tires.
