SV650 or ZXR400???
 
Hello everyone!

New to the forum, will probably ask a few silly questions that have been asked a million times before so I apologise now :)

I have a mate who has a R1 track bike, awesome bit of kit! But I'm thinking of getting into track days myself and would like your opinions on a 1st track bike.

Either a SV650 or ZXR400 are what I'm thinking.

Thanks in advance
Matt

Id have a look about for a CBR 600 steel frame. Cam chain tensioners aside pretty well built.
the R6 and Gixer 6 are also good bikes.
If you have the basic skills the SV s suspension can quite cheaply be sorted so its a valid option.

Ok, thank you for that. I do like the newer shape R6's and I've heard they make pretty good track bikes. Bit too expensive for me at the min tho. The CBR, is that an RR?

Was this what you was thinking of?

At the minute I'm just looking around, gauging what's around for what money really. I want to get it for as cheap as possible whatever I buy lol! As I've got to get a bike trailer too! Plus I'm building a new shed to accommodate a new bike!

If you get a road.going one you can sell the fairings . So if you want an R6 you might be able to ofset some costs.
