Anthony, what safety gear do you currently have?
You'll need:
- a one piece leather suit
- helmet that is either ECE or SNELL rated
- ankle high boots
- gloves past your wrist
- back protector.
These are things you DO NOT want to cheap out on. You can get buy with a stock rear shock or stock exhaust system for the first year but what ever you do, make sure you have quality safety gear. Sooner or later, you will crash. We all do....whether you're racing or just a casual tack day enthusiast.
You can find these items on sale and shop around for good quality used stuff. I picked up a suit that retails for $1100+tax for $450 and was barely used. Showed no signs of wear.
I guess you use special race gas?
Probably about 30 litres of pump gas for 3 days on a 300 and you might still have some left over.

Damn, big bikes are expensive. Your entire weekend is costs as much as my fuel bill
