First track bike GS750?

[Buffalo Bill]

GS750 will work…

You can ride a GS750 8 valve, not a problem.
Get the best tires, take the mirrors off and all the glass, put a metal, plastic or wood disc in place of the front light fixture.
You'll really need to do some reading on your own, we can't tell you everything to do.
But for the novice class you're just be riding in a line together with no passing allowed, so you won't need a superbike.
Better have cash in the bank because your insurance DOES NOT cover injuries at the race track.
You will crash eventually if you keep coming back for track days, and you will be required to wear all the gear all the time and a back protector.

YES!!!

THIS guy knows what he's talking about!

People somehow get this idea that you'll be jumping on a superbike and doing 1000mph right away....Negatory my good friend!

You'll be dropped into the novice class where most riders have VERY little riding experience. You usually follow a group leader in a bright yellow or orange vest. This is for your own good.

You must first devolpe the skills to feel the track and memorize it.
The idea is also to get You and your Group familiar with riding in packs, etc.


Trust me, a GS750 will be perfectly fine!
Even the 650 is a 12 second bike in the 1/4....

And it's a MUCH better bike to drop(except for the weight)

Because parts are cheap, the older bikes will literally stand right back up and keep riding with no major damage.

Ever skid a newer bike?
Do you know how much the plastics cost for these bikes? A lot!

you'll be yanked right off the track, because you'll lose so many damn parts in a fall or skid!

I used to work bike days every weekend....seen it a million times.


Do yourself a favor, and get a GS or older bike to learn on.
As long as it doesn't leak oil, you'll be fine!

They are bullet proof, you can beat them up all day long, and drop them too.
Ditch the turn signals and mirrors, you'll be golden.
