As for tires on the track, relax - its NOT necessary to get track dedicated tires, just concentrate on everything other then your tires and you will have a good time. My buddy bought a new EX500 and took it to the track with less then 800 total riding miles under his belt. Have you seen the tires on those bikes? dinosaur lego blocks man - its not the tires- and its not the bike - right now its you. Have you seen some of the tires the 250's rock, have you ever ridden with a experienced 250 rider? - theyll leave litre bikes in the dust in sections of twisties, 21st century tires are awesome, btw i squeezed 7800 outta my 020 and i never had 1 single complaint, until i tired pilot powers did i realize how much they sucked COMPARED to the aftermarket powers

Your opinion is noted, but it does not change my view at all. And yes, I have been dusted by kids on 125s and 250s....both bikes were running not dot race tires (but it was skill that caused them to pass me, not the tires).
In my opinion, you will get the most out of a track experience when you run tires that were made to be ridden that aggressively.
