What was your first track bike?

Well, when I started riding on the track I rode my '00 ZX6R street bike.

My first TRACK ONLY bike was a Production Twins legal EX500, which got me into racing. The EX makes a great track bike platform... You can make it squirm like a sunuvabitch but it won't bite you unless you do somethin really stupid. It'll just keep saying "stop doing that, no really, stop it... no... cut it out" before it finally throws you off :P That bike taught me more than I ever could have imagined about riding fast & smooth.

Eventually I sold both bikes and I now ride an Aprilia Tuono which pulls double duty street/track and I race a Supersport legal SV650.
