You need to prepare to get a second bike for the track then....
It will cost you more to repair your road bike if you bin it, than what it will cost to buy a dedicated track bike.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
Yeah that is a point but it will be a very long time before i am ready for that.
I went yesterday to sit on the 2011 ZX-6R and ZX-10R and i am sold on the ZX-6r although i noticed i could not get my feet fully flat on the floor. i can get the front part of both feet touching the ground but not flat.

It's good advice, although if you're only doing one day here and there or just for the experience it's understandable to take the risk if you feel confident, plus, it is satisfying passing kitted out trackies all day on your roadie
Mate go a 600... And you dont NEED a track bike, I did about 8 track days on various road bikes and never pranged it!! (yes I know I fall over whilst stationary )
You'll be hard pressed getting a test rude before you're fully licenced.
Completely different series of bike - no offense to the 07/08 year owners but it was the lost years for the zx6r, 09+ they were back on track and competitive again.

Stop listening to all the namby pambies and just go out and buy a 10. You'll be able to pull the most fooly sick wheelstands and burnouts and you won't get bored with it as fast. They are pussies to ride so don't sweat it.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
