I want to buy a track bike

I've done a deal with the bride.
She said "I don't like you riding on the road, too many clowns".
I said "I want a bike. I HAVE to have a bike. It's in my blood".
She said "Bad luck".
I said "How about one I can only ride on the track?".
She said "Ok."
I've had a road registered 98 ZX-7R, 05 ZX-10R and now I want one that will make me poo my pants.
Any thoughts and suggestions?

You should have said "I had a bike when you met me.... Stop being silly... now cook me some eggs"

Yes but he wants to be scared by the speed!
Not speed wobbles and the constant threat of an engine seizure!

hahaha.. I was thinking more of the lack of braking at the end of the straight!! If you really want to learn to ride, get a 2-stroke shit box!

Yamaha RD250 / 350 LC. 2 stroke juggernauts from the early 80's. Still quite a weapon and much revered by those with a mis-spent youth!
