what I gather from this thread is your looking for an ex ama bike / SOAR bike (how do the two compare lol) for your first track bike.
buy an old sv650 ride the **** outta it. there is a few of guys that can spank any 1000 cc on an sv. its a very good starter track bike and there cheap
they don't compare.. but when these guys are done with their bikes.. we tend to get a good bargain.. often a mix of some performance goodies with a stock engine.. money for them for next build.. great value for ppl like me..
EVERY BODY WINS...
