Purely hypothetical. Purchase costs doesn't include track tyres, prep, etc... it's only a bit of fun.

If you only had a grand to spend on a bike to use on trackdays, what would you buy?

Back up you choices with some horrid ebay listings

I'm expecting lots of FZR600's and SRAD's.

G1 zx6.

I reckon the Chundercat is probably worth a shout if you can find a minging one for a bag of sand, DaveN can't be wrong

I like, but would it pass any noise testing with that can?

Any 95- 600 supersport sis good enough to win inters

I wouldn't win whatever bike I was on, so I'd just as well be comfortable

I have a secret crush on the 1100S, but they go for proper money, that won't stay at a grand for long.

Yeah, I wasn't taking this too seriously

I used to try and get an RS as a loaner from the dealer whenever possible. Only downside was it sounding like a Honda 250 Superdream.

An older R1150R would do the trick in comedy style, forget when but one of the PB lads had an old R1150RT that held its own in inters.

How about a Kawasaki Zx6R G2 model. Price is 1200 but seller is open to offers so probably gettable for a grand as he seems keen to sell

Can i keep the grand and just bring along my auld Fazer instead

I'd reckon this could be made to handle well enough to do the job. £750

That's a lot of shiny blue shit

Zig-a-Zig-Ah 600!

Leaves £350 to spend on life insurance.

It'll snap off well as sacrificial parts when i land in the gravel

The typical Gumtree advertiser is of a totally different class to an ebayer...

I reckon you'd get Crafar to turn up for less than a bag of sand. He'd deffo win inters

Needs an NOT and for some reason you have to go via Texas.

A (very) cheeky offer on this?
