Frank - an interesting read.....

I reckon that you should think about getting a cheap Jap thou' to play at Trackdays, it seems that you are getting passed by riders on these bikes and it's putting you off? Or get a nice 998!!!

The straight-line speed jockeys come into their own at fast circuits like Donny.

On a big thou, you can keep pace with these fellas and beat 'em on the twisty bits!!! As a budget track bike, even a newish Jap 600 can play nicely with these fellas, but a Gixxer 1000 K2 (or similar) will see most off!!!

And for circa £2.5-3K its gotta be a decent option - there are loads of bits around for these too.

Good luck
Tim
