There's little point getting a bike setup just right, and then finding you can't compete in a competitive class.

This is why I said you may be best off finding a class to compete in, and buying a bike that suits this. If you buy a 636, and can only compete with GSXR750s or Litre bikes you'll end up selling it and doing all the prep work again

What about the steel chassis classes (up to about a 98 CBR600), could be a cheap-ish class to race in and you're not going to be going up against 2012 models.

Edit: Roadstocks can be good too

will have a look now im happy with any bike really, just want to get out on the track tbh

For beginers the SV is more than enough bike and the minitwin clubs are one of the cheapest to compete in!

i dont really wanna take my sv on the track though, what are they like price wise to buy second hand?

Steel frame class is an excellent class for the money. I race an old srad gsxr 600 in rookie and pre injection 600. I already had it that's why but after this year in rookies it will only be eligible for pre inj, f600 (pre inj+f600 run together there) or open class so I'm considering changing. It does ok at 3 sisters as it is so tight and twisty but gets left by bigger or newer stuff on 'big' tracks. A 636 could do a season with Preston dmc at three sisters in rookies but then you be up against bigger engined and newer stuff. You need to do homework on what classes are available and if any run together.
