I guess I should clarify my reasons for not wanting the 750 on the track. Its not that I cant handle it. Ive had it on the track before its not that Im scared of it or anything, I just feel like with a smaller bike I could push it a bit harder and get better. I feel like with a smaller bike a little mistake can be saved where with the 750 a small mistake may have me sittin in the kitty litter. Plus I hate when you are at the track and youre runnin up some guys ass because hes parking it in every corner and then on the straight they just hammer their big liter bikes and ya can't get by em, and I don't want to be that guy. As far as changing the plastics out everytime, you guys are better than me I can barely just get the plastics back on my bike in an hour, let alone taking off the track skins and then putting them on. Which isn't even a big deal I don't mind putting a little time into it, what I don't want is to end up wadding her in a corner and then I don't have a street bike. I know track skins, and frame sliders and bar ends and all that go a long way to protect the bike but if you put her down at a decent clip theres gonna be some damage. and I just don't think its worth the risk. My latest idea is to sell the gsxr and buy a cruiser and a track bike! i don't know if I could do it though! lol
