Actually, if the bike is in good shape, and has reasonable tires on it, it could be a lot of fun. B group fun. Much, much faster than a Ninja 250. The motor in a Ninja 250 was designed in the 80's. I would love to rock a well-preserved 86 FZ600 at a trackday. Imagine how pissed the slower riders on their new bikes would be.
Ya, I'm not sure about dropping money on a ninja rental when I can use the fzr for free. :teeth This is true though, I will probably piss some people off. Going from the 108hp track prepped r6 with ohlins, dot races, and suspension by dave moss is going to be weird but the redeeming factor is that the fzr will have slicks and suspension setup for me by Dave. :thumbup
I'm just trying to scrape the money together to do it. ahhh, shoulda never sold my bike.
Just chatted with Mr. Dave Moss yesterday............
The 06' GSXR 750 (maybe 600, I forget), that he built for a webcast "how to build a track-bike off of ebay"....He is renting out for something like $250 a day....That thing is.........well.........a little faster than a 250........Not sure on the crash details tho.........
But shit......call him and ask.......He said he'd wished he'd started renting it out a year ago.............
One thing is for sure.....the suspension should be bitchin.....hahaahahah
Oh, i'm sure the suspension is baller. He does it good. I know if I do take the fzr the suspension will be custom setup for me with slicks.
But i'll have to ask him about this bike.
You can rent my GSXR600 for the cost of getting it running :teeth

It's been sitting for a year, needs the tank & carbs cleaned and should fire right up. Brand new tires, and track ready.
No, it's not an o6' R6 but it's plenty fast and would be great for you to get you track legs back. Plus no security deposit, you break it you fix or buy it.
Hey, long time no talk. Hmmm, i'll show my friend these bikes. He might wanna pick them up. :thumbup
