Hey Everyone,
I'm looking to get into track riding in the 2015 season. I completed a racer5 school in Grand Bend and did several endurance races with them after. I ride a Triumph 675 on the streets and I was contemplating turning it into a track-only bike until I found that it's a pretty expensive bike to maintain and it's a better idea to go with Japanese for the track.
My dilemma now is whether I should get a used bike in a good condition and turn it into a track-bike myself or get a bike that is ready for track and has already seen some track time. While getting a used track-bike is much cheaper I'm worried it will come with problems. It most likely won't have title and insurance so I won't be able to even test drive it. I would have to get it from a trusted seller and but I don't know the community well enough.
My budget is $6000 (fairly flexible though). I was mostly interested in 06+ R6. Any advice will be appreciated.
