Was up peeps

Well I will keep it short as its been 2 years since i posted.  I raced a 600 for 4 years and work has kept me busy for the last 2 years.  Well now Im back but its been 2 years so I will start with track days to get me back into the flow.  But what class should I come back to MW or LW?  By the way i just got a 07 R6 two weeks ago and im looking for a track bike. Any ideas or help would be great.  That 07 R6 is a beast and i love it so i may get another one.

Mel, SV650's still always rock. 

Kim will like the tire bill better.

Good seeing your name on the board.   :biggrin:

Im sure she  would like tire bill.  But I have more to play with these days. 
I dont know about the SV.  They seem to be so down on power as to the Buell. But I dont want one of those things.

Super Dave

Well, yeah, but they weigh less, parts are easily available, and, although the Buell is definitely a more reliable package now, the SV650 is really solid.  Get a nice 2004 to 2006 for $5000 or something all ready to go...put some paint on it, hey, you're racin' and all.

You gonna race it, Mel, or just some track days? 

Racing, yeah, I think the SV650 is just IT.  Track days.  It's not serious, I'd look for a 600 or even a GSXR750 because you'll enjoy the rush of speed playing with some of the other bikes.  That's my opinion from teaching schools:  sometimes an SV650 is just a little down on power enough to keep up with some of the riders that don't get around the track as well, but have gobs of power.

Race the R6!  I tried to enter my pit bike in the lightweight class, but Art slapped me when I tried to go out!!!!
