Getting On The Track: Questions Answered!
Q: What bike would you recommend to new track day riders?
A: The one you’ve got in your garage will work pretty
well for your first track day. A little bit of TLC, some fresh tires, make sure
it doesn’t leak any fluids, and go. Most track day organizations have a session
for slower bikes and slower riders. When it comes to buying a bike specifically for a track
day, a well-maintained used sportbike or a brand-new sportbike, especially a
lightweight (300cc-400cc) or middleweight (600cc) class machine, is hard to
beat. Middleweights have adjustable suspension, more than adequate brakes, and
a chassis that is race-ready straight off the showroom floor. Tire manufacturers
make excellent track tires for the rims found on both lightweight and middleweight machines, and while the
bikes run well, they don’t build power as quickly as 1000cc literbikes and are easier
to steer, lean, and decelerate…
