Default getting into the track scene

Hey guys, well Ive been to a few track days with some friends and they are addicted. After the first track day they sold their street bikes and bought track bikes (one has a 99 R6 and the other has an 01 GSXR 750) They are set on getting me addicted to it as well. Little do they know Im already addicted problem is I cant give up my street bike I just love it to much. So Im trying to get myself a track bike, right now Im thinking about and SV650 because I really don't want a super fast bike on the track. I still plan to keep my GSXR 750 for the street so my question is, If I ride a much faster bike on the street will I be happy with a slower bike on the track? I think I will because I think Ill be much more comfortable trying to push a smaller bike than I would a faster bike, and I think a slower bike will force me to learn to "ride fast" and not just cruise around the corners and rail the straights. Meaning with a smaller bike ill be able to focus on body position and lines rather than just trying to hang on to a big bike. I just don't want to get a SV650 and end up wishing I had a faster bike. I REALLY dont care about keeping up with my buddies they are both far more advanced than I ever plan to be so thats not an issue. So do you think the smaller bike on the track will satisfy me or am I going to end up wishing I had gotten an inline.
