Second bike suggestions.

I've been thinking about getting a second bike for around $3,000-$3,500 (GSX-R750, GSX-R600, R6, ZX-6R) My primary concern is to get something fuel-injected. My secondary concern is how good it will be on the track with minimal upgrades (sliders, tires, cheap suspension upgrades).

I'm kind of new to the whole track scene, so I was wondering what the most cost-affective bike-route would be in the 3k-3.5k price range. I was also wondering who I should take the bike to, to get it tuned up.

I am thinking about offering $2800 for this: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/1677553608.html

I've got an 01 cbr600f4i that I'm going to be letting go for around that in the next week or so. It's got a bit of rash on the fairings, but mechanically is a solid bike!

Honestly I'm not sure how it would be for track, but I have to imagine it would do pretty good.

As for tuning, if you get a PC3 brian is the only place to go.

I kind of miss the non-smooth powerband of the I-4s, so I wasn't even thinking about the SV650. But after looking on Craiglook, it seems that the 03+ SV650 may be perfect for my budget.

you can find already prepped track bikes on occasion on the WERA bbs boards too.

Yeah, I've heard that the GSX-R750 is basically "The best 600 ever." I hope there's some nice rebuilt titled/newbified GSX-R750s this Fall/Winter (bike buying season). Unfortunately, it seems that newbified 600s are more plentiful.

We have one of each and the 750 is my favorite although our 600 is prettier
