Moto-Brian Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 What's your price range? That really starts the ball rolling as you can buy some great bikes out there for set amounts...Out of your list, stay away from a CBR600F1. Old school and hard to get parts and tires...F2/F3s are great starter bikes, but an SV650 would be more modern in terms of chassis and parts.The ZX7 is a great bike honestly and has a soft spot in my heart as I had a couple of these. However, they are PIGS and pretty tough to ride at any sort of pace w/o feeling like you went rounds upon rounds of boxing against a seasoned fighter...SV650 is your best choice. Teaches corner speed which a LOT of track guys lack, they are easy to work on and parts are stupid cheap. Seasoned riders can embarrass a lot of 600 riders. Good SV650 riders are like gnats at times as they are always around you and you cannot shake them easily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't do track days but have heard that 1 gen Sv's are good track bikes. As Lizard said the parts are stupid cheap and available. Plus from what I understand it is a great bike to grow into. It's more forgiving than some from what I understand. About the maintenance it would all depend on how mechanically inclined you are to choose between 1 gen (carbed) and 2 gen (FI). They both are very reliable either way. Good luck with you choice and racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i'd say from your list The SV is deff the best bike. I would also recomend a gsxr01+ 600/750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
