The SV is a great track bike - to learn on. On the shorter, technical tracks, she rocks. The 750 is great, too, especially on the high speed tracks. I'm doing VIR tomorrow on the SV. I'll get passed like I'm standing still by some of the faster bikes, but that's okay since it's my first time on this track. Next time I hope to be on the r6.

My BF has a CBR600rr, and has been looking for a 750 for quite some time. It's a better match since he's a big guy.

I agree with a lot of folks on here that it's okay to use your street bike as a track bike until you are fully addicted. Then buy a track bike. Yes, if you go down, you've lost your street bike, too. But the same thing could happen to you at home on the street.

SVs can make for good track bikes, but I say get yourself a clapped out and fully race prepped FZR400, mount some DOT race rubber on it, and scare the beejeezus out of your friends in the corners.
