So what are your thoughts on this?

I have not owned a bike in almost 2 years now but I recently sold my fun car to get a bike.

I don't plan to ride on the streets too much and I want to keep it mostly to the track (I live in Los Angeles / Orange County area so probably Willow Springs).

So for those of you that do trackdays around once a month... or once every two months, how much would it run me?

Will I burn through a set of pads + tires every single event? Honestly I would like to spend somewhere around 300 bucks every time (not counting costs of safety wiring + gear + other initial preparation)

I'm looking at a 2007 ZX6R thats going for a fantastic price. Some other bikes that I've been looking at are the 2004+ R1, RC51, 2005+ R6

thanks guys
