Especially since I would be riding my street bike more often. On the other hand I just feel like for my track skills the 750 is to big. Truth be told I didn't want a 750 for the street. The 750 just fell into my lap. I feel like if I had a bit of a smaller bike on the track I fee like Id be riding the bike rather than just hanging on to it. I guess Ill just have to look into it some more.
I started my first track season on with a ZX10 that I owned for barely a month... The 750 isn't too big. Weight wise - MAYBE, but this is coming from a more power/less weight to go faster mindset. There's nothing wrong or overbearing about a 750. Same goes for a 1000 and any power bike really. It's what you already know and just transitioning that to the track.

With that all said, it's completely up to you to justify a track bike. If you REALLY want to do all the track days you can and have the means(money, time off work, a track close by, etc) then go for it. Otherwise tape it up and ride it out.
