What’s up guys? Needing some advice on what’s bike to start out on for track days, maybe some racing down the road. A little background on myself. I’m 46 year old. 6’1“ 230 lbs. and have been road riding since I was 16. Never been on a track. Been through many of the popular bikes. 600s, 1000s and a few SV650s and FZ1s. Again never been on a track. I have been racing motocross for the past 38 years. Raced a few professional races in the mid 1990s and currently ride the +35 +40 and +45 expert classes. I have a several state and regional championships with my most recent being in 2018. I know my mx background has nothing to do with going to the road just wanted y’all to know my background. I’m not completely new at riding.
Anyway......
Any recommendations for a track/race bike? I’m smart enoug to know bigger isn’t better. I want to learn proper body position And build on that to some race craft. Got some friends telling me to get a 600, SV650 or a FZ07 but I personally was thinking about a Ninja 400 or CBR600.
Any thoughts, options or advice is greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
