I'm considering buying a track bike for some fun.
I have owned in the past a 98 ZX-7R and a 05 Zx-10R, although I'm not looking at spending a fortune, something around $5k - $7k.
Any suggestions or places I can look?
Also, some contacts for ride days, new tyres, settings etc??

Older F model ZX6's should be avoided. Parts are getting thin on the ground, and they often consume them. Valves especially! Hate to say it, but with the budget you set yourself, a good ex SS CBR600 would be money well spent. They are a tad more reliable than most of the others from what I've seen. And still manage to hang a decent lap in the right hands!

They have the benefit of starter motor and alternator, and being only slightly diff to std, they tend not to break as much!
