The cost varies from rider to rider. There are some people that have more money tied up in track day gear than I make. Others tow a bike with a compact car loaded full of gear and camp out at the track. Like a lot of sports the amount you spend is determined by you. Some people just tape over the lights on their street bike and go at it. Others have dedicated track bikes.
After the bike gear is the next big expense but once you have it you have it until you outgrow it or wreck it. Cost is again up to you. I wear a set of leathers I bought off a MSB member for $250. If you aren’t really sure how much you want to do it its best to find good bargains for gear and equipment. Theres no sense blowing your wad on gear and not having any money to ride.
Nesba and STT have an annual membership fee of around $35 bucks. The cost of the track day varies from track to track but is usually around $200 for a day. Keep in mind you will get over two hours of track time if you don’t crash or have a mechanical.
