A 600 is not a downgrade, it's just a different type of motorcycle. It does a few things better than the busa...if you have the skill to back it up. Heck you may find that a 600cc is the right bike for you...but as much as I love 600's I would not take this deal. It is really easy too find...

You appear to have yourself a conundrum. A BT-16 is basically about as good as your going to get grip wise for a street tire. There are tires that will last longer but they will not give you as much grip. You don't have to be doing trackdays to appreciate/need the grip a good tire can give...

Get what ever bike you can get the best deal on imo, you can set a bike up to do what you want it to do with minimal investment. I went with a L1 GSXR 600. Its really fun to ride and I have it tracked out right now...ohlins inserts/rearshock, no lights, race bodywork and thanks to my...

I picked up a Komodo suit, it works. Road tested several times. Zero injuries.

what is the reason for the two rear calipers?

I had a chance to get a good look at one two weeks ago while shopping for new track boots in Salt Lake. It is by far the sexiest bike I've seen in a while. Looks even cooler in person IMO. S

They get my vote over shorts any day!! I like to preach always use leather but I don't do much casual riding these days so I'll spare you :P

That sucks when people get hurt like that... I was lucky and was educated on the short-commings of the rear brake quite early in my riding career. I will admit though that recently I have become very interested in developing the skills needed to use it properly.

My hats off to anyone who would try to ride a 300 hp bike at a track day.

No he wasn't, I don't think he'll be making his way out to Spokane this year. Had race body work and sliders on the bike. They kind of worked... but the bike did end up going end over end. So far the damage is: a very decent dent in my fuel tank, clutch side handle bar broke off, a bent...

Today while being mildly stupid at the track I managed to pitch my newest track bike down Spokane County Raceway at about 40-50mph. It was a lowside crash and about as easy of a get off one could ever ask for at this speed. This is what it did to the right shoulder of my leathers. Take a...

Generally speaking you can make a ton of power with NO2 and in the short run it can be much cheaper than FI. It's basically accomplishes the same thing as FI... it puts more O2 into the cylinder than the engine would normal draw in through natural aspiration. The first thing I thought of...

Wow, that event looked rediculously dangerous...

If the guy was doing 20 over in densely populated residential area he deserves that broken leg. What if it would have been a little kid?

In the YouTube post he says he was doing 28 in a 25, I wonder if he was maybe doing a bit faster as he time to block out the speedo in the video... I think I may have been able to avoid that, it's hard to say with 100% certainty. The rider didn't seem do a good job braking or swerving. It's a...
