Never Forgotten
I know there a few folks here that do trackdays and some that do NOT have a dedicated track bike. Have you always wanted to ride a current track weapon at premier tracks across the US?

Well now is your chance......I know it is sponsored by Yamaha but look at the bigger picture. The factories are noticing our sport and offering perks for track day riders....


"From a press release issued by Yamaha Motor corp., U.S.A.:

Cypress CA. - April 14, 2008 Yamaha Motor Corporation and the Northeast Sportbike Association (NESBA) are pleased to announce an innovative new Sportbike Demo program that is designed to give prospective customers a chance to test ride a full selection of 2008 Yamaha Sportbikes including the Daytona Supersport Class winning YZF-R6 and YZF-R6S, YZF-R1, FZ1 and FZ6 at select NESBA track day events.

Gonna call today and reserve a R6 for Road Atlanta next month and a new R1 for the July Road Atlanta date.

I checked the Yamaha site and I will get 15min of seat time during lunch on track, basically a full session. Maybe I can talk them into 2 sessions, lol...

I know most of the big four will offer demo rides but folks THIS is on a race track.
 
Sounds cool, wish they would do that closer to home.  I would ride one for a demo, it would be a blast.
 
This is a great opportunity if you have ever considered a track bike. People that have been will PREACH the advantages of spending one day at the track. I was a doubter for years......
