Guys

Cant decide on the trackday bike for next year -- what would you go for and if relevant -- why ?!

Done a few years on track now, respectable fast group pace.  Done 1000's 600's and twins (the bikes)

Whaddya reckon ?

Cheers Mark

M heart says the 1098 so I voted for that awesome bike 

my head says the R1 will have less problems with than the 1098

the ten 07 is pant unless you spend a bit of cash getting it sorted ....

you have already ridden the seton bikes a bit go for summit different 

[davemfox]

  what he said, go for something different...seen quite a few superstock 1000k7's kicking around

Get the Glenn Richards ex superstocker Mark, you know you want to

600cc is too much hard work against 1000cc bikes, if your sticking to trackdays only next year. I got to the point where i hadnt got much more to give to mine and it got boring.

Sorry but it has to be the 1098  If i had the money it is the bike i would have there is something about em

and not a sniff of a Suzuki 1000 K5-7    any reason for not considering one? I thought, possibly incorrectly, that they were the perfect track tool

a gix 750 .. k5 ish

Wanted something "newish" - which really discounts the K5.  Seems lots of people struggle with the setup on the K7 (club racing level) which currently only leaves the K6 ... and I want something late 07 or early 08 ... kinda discounts itself for the time being.

A guy on Visordown or Throttlemonkies (Madracer i think) tried racing a 1098 but gave up on it as he couldn't get on with it and back to a Jap 1000

I like G voted 1098!
Why not get the new 10R?
Gix K5/6 as Andy says!!....and im sure Simple will be along soon saying the same!

[simple]

Not ridden my K5 that much yet but all the signs point to the makings of a damned good track bike so far - feels soooo much lighter than my old '07 10R ( felt very long and low ! ) - having ridden Glenns '04 10R I would say that the K5 Gixxer Thou is VERY similar although probably a good deal more forgiving 

Which is probably a good thing as far as I am concerned  - I am sure Glenn will be able to give you a better comparison once he's had a blast round the " circuit " on it 

[zxyogi]

And thats with a buckled wheel!!

Looking past the " buckled wheel " impediment 

[chriswillis]

a gix 750 .. k5 ish 

I'd go for a gixxer 750 too. Supposedly the best of both worlds
