Like everyone else is saying, you don't necessarily need to get a knee down to go faster. It should definitely come naturally, you shouldn't make it a conscious effort to try to plant a puck in every corner. My guess is after a few track days when you start to get faster, you will probably find your knee making contact with the pavement when you're not expecting it. But for now put knee-dragging in the back of your mind so it doesn't mess with what you really need to focus on first. When you get to the track, first thing you need to work on is finding the right line, then work on basic bike controls. Throttle and braking. Get these down and work on good body positioning and the knee will happen. Tire pressure, wheel alignment, wheel balance, bike geometry, and suspension setup are important as well- somebody at the track should be able to help make sure you're in the ballpark- these get more critical as you get a lot faster. Definitely save it for the track though, just way too many factors out there that make it unsafe on the roads. Hopefully when you get a few track days under your belt, you'll have less of an urge to ride fast and risk it on the streets anyway. Have fun and stay safe!
