Yeah for a track bike, the R6 is the way to go unless you can find a brand new gen 6r for dirt cheap or a decent 636. I would skip the years between the 636 and the newest gen.

The '02 636 doesn't have any of the aftermarket parts I want, and it's carbed. Not low enough price for me to get the parts either. The F4i has potential. The 96 honda is too old. The 98 honda is again, too old. And no goodies. '03 Zook is a good deal- for somebody else. '03/'06 600RR wouldn't be bad, but it's a frankenstein. And no suspension work. ![]() ![]()

I would LOVE to have another bike identical to the one I have now solely for the track. |

I know riders with all sorts of bikes... including gsxr's, r6's etc... and they thought the were the cat's ass... best thing ever... then they rode something different & were like "holy cow, you mean there's something else that's fun?" Just cuz you think the R6 is the best thing out there doesn't mean it is. I've ridden ALL SORTS of bikes around different race tracks, from 500's to 600's to 1000's... v-twins, I twins, I fours, thumpers etc. CR500 Supermoto to MV Agusta. There's no ONE BIKE that's the best for everyone out there. Although I've never ridden one around the track myself, I know first han that the 650r can be turned into a very capable track/race bike. I race against them regularly in the LW classes at Loudon & am friends with people that race them... It's a little down on power compared to the SV, but not by much. They still handle VERY well and can be incredibly quick in the right hands. Not only that, but they make great LEARNING TOOLS... more-so than a bike that you can twist the throttle on to make up for your mistakes. They wiggle around & flex a little to let you know you're not being smooth without biting you in the ass. It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
