When i went, amongst other there was in the novice group:

My 98 ZX9R - totally stock except for can and tarty bits.
Bro's 2000 R6 - as above
Mate's 98 hornet 6 - as above

KTM Supermoto - totally stock
CBR600RR - Full HM plant rep with Ohlins etc
Various track only SRAD's tricked out
998 Duke
2 x stock ZX10R's
2 very trick curvy Sv's
VTR SP1

There's about 20-30 in each group depending on circuit etc. But there will be everything from hardcore trackdayers with tricked out bikes to complete noobs on the fastest machinery there, but can't ride it to save their lives. Point is there's gonna be a mixed bag and at the end of the day you should be going for your enjoyment / skill honing and not worrying about being slowest on track. like i said before YOU WON'T BE !!!

Your bike sounds fine mate but i'd just check Db's to be safe. As for knee sliders etc...they couldn't care less. If they're sparkies tho get some plastic's put back on, no sparkies on track.
