I had a 97 zxr750 for a track bike, it was completely stock and thought about turning it into a dedicated trackie, but the dollars you have to spend to get it there. Enough power to go quick but nothing silly. Going from a 10 to something similar you will find you are able to get on the power sooner and harder. The down fall of it being stock was the handling, it was a heavy bus and the suspension was shite by today's standards. To get it to a decent stage was going to cost dollars so I sold it as a road goer.

If you are going to get one, find a bike where someone has already spent the money on it with regards to suspension and brakes. My current trackie which is a K5 GSXR750, it had the suspension done prior to me buying it, I priced up the suspension alone at between $2000 - $3000 if I was to do it. Came with race glass and road fairings plus rear sets. That saved an additional $1500 on a stock bike.

So something that I am now selling for $7000 (open to offers) has had money spent on it that you will never get back. Little unsolicited plug there :P

Try and find something that someone has done all the hard work to get it to handle and stop, you like me probably won't notice if the engine has a 135 or 140 hp.

With this bike I go into the low 1.50s at the creek.

Good luck with the search.
