if you're riding track only, then you may want to consider race fairings it'll save you on the masking tape. lol
also if it's track only for the life of the bike then you may be able to sell the stock fairings and use that money for the track day.

I'm going to keep on the stock fairings because I still want to do some occasional street riding

After the expense of prepping your bike and buying gear...A trackday costs less than a ticket...

No the price of that bike doenst seem suspicious, with people losing work like crazy and sales the worst in decades. this is the time for anyone with a steady job to make out like a bandit from the woe's of others.

It's kind of weird. I've been studying prices on Craigslist - and R6's (not the S model) hold their value the best. Kawasaki's seem to drop like a rock - the bike I'm looking at was brand new with an MSRP of 9000 just 4k miles ago and now they are ASKING 5000.
While I don't really like Kawasakis (nor do I dislike... just indifferent) I feel that this is the best bike for me because of the price and condition of the bike (very new still!)

If you are a ok pace on the track. faster than the noobs but not right at race pace. you can get Take off's. I get 003r take offs for 100 bucks. n a 180 or 190 rear. I can get about 2-3 track days out of them.

Good idea on the takeoffs, where do you get yours? at the track? on Craigslist?

if you go for 5 events, you're looking at an approximate investment (on the budget-minded end) of between $2209.00-$2709.00 for the entire season.

Thanks for the cost breakdown, you brought up a lot of things I did not even think of. I think I can get away with a bit less because I'll just do w/o luxuries such as hotel rooms, tents, and food ;)
