They are both good starter bikes and I have lots of each in my fleet. I actually like the 125 a bit more as a starter bike.
99% of people who have them trade them in after a year when they outgrow them.
The 125 is cheaper so getting into one is easier, parts in case you do have an incident...
Another option for the OP would be to try the Racer5 intro program to try out the track.
This way all you need to worry about bringing is a lunch and your gear (gear rental is avaliable as well) and none of the expense of damaging your street bike or buying a track bike.
You get a dedicated pro...
2006 GSXR Racebike
Used by Racer5 for its Advanced level courses, as an instructor bike, Student Endurance Race Team bike, and also used by a Racer5 Advanced Level student to win Rookie cup with.
The bike is essentially stock except for a Full Ti Matsushima exhaust.

Don't put your VFR on the track.
I imagine the VFR has a clean title and therfore worth a decent amount of money.
If you drop the VFR it will cost a monumental amount of money to fix and the weight of the bike will make it difficult to learn on.
That being said we did have a student that...
As title states looking for a tail section with lights.
If you have either the tail section or lights please PM me what you have and what you want for it.
Scratches don't matter as I am repainting the bodywork.
Thanks

This will be run in the exact same long track configuration as SOAR intends to next weekend.
It's an excellent opportunity for racers wanting to get some extra seat time on the competition and trackday goes wanting to try out this fast track layout!
Once again if the numbers aren't their by...

I left before it seems it it really interesting. Lol
Great turn out, I havent been to any of these rides since I stopped street riding like two years ago.
Great to see everyone again... Thinking I'm going to have to somehow mount a headlight on one of my racebikes so I don't have to show up in...

Remeber guys try and use proper tie downs to secure your canopies.
What you use to strap your bike down is fine secured on all 4 corners.
Don't use the little bungee rope that walmart canopies come with and make sure its attached to a substantial weight, especially if we are anticipating...
We already do this if the overflow is easily visible, in many cases the overflow is not easily visible.
No organization in this country (trackday provider or race body) does coolant checks, but as this has been brought to my attention that this may be happening. I will be proactive and start...
Apparently you are going to need to convert it to liquid cooled, fill the rad with coolant, and not tell us at tech. Don't bring it to my attention when I make my rounds to ask how day is going, then tell me on an Internet forum two months from now.
;) (just kidding guys)

Re: TMP August 25th (Thursday)
I have just gotten back from the track and unloading the trailer from this past race weekend, so i'm exhausted but I will take time out to correct this as it seems as it is somehow spiralling out of control.
No we have never allowed coolant or ANY glycol based...

Hi Glenn,
You did awesome this past weekend!
The Racer5 program is developed so that you can use our 125s to hone your skills and race all season long.
Once you are ready transitioning to a 600 should be very easy.
If you are purchasing a bike then I would recommend a 600 and racing if...
I would avoid the big box stores and go with an EZ-up or Impact canopy.
Last year I went through about 12 canopies, more aggravating then the financial waste was the fact that they would normally break at the worst possible time causing a lot of stress (and once knocking over someones bike that...
