Lot of work there! You should be well happy with it when your done tho. I have the YZF 600 t.cat, it was in mint condition til I had an accident in july (I had just spent an arm and a leg on it). There is not a lot of damage and its all cosmetic but I know its there and I hate it!

hey looks in very good nic that ,funny how things move on ,i had the fzr 600 years ago ,then a blade ,then moved back to a gsxr 750 k6 ,now that was a good track bike ,all most as fast as a 1000cc but way faster in the turns ,heres a pic of it a donninton ,knee down lifting my visor ,had this one for about 3-4 years now moved bask to the r6 ,but this bike in the right hands goes like sh-t , i dont ride the roads any more ,wife dont like it so its track days only for me ,you should try it one day ,really get to see wot your bikes capable of ,know yours is an older bike ,but still do 150 -160 mph

That is a hell of a pic! You smooth git :lol:

I would love to get it on a track, if I had the money i dont think I would ride on the roads at all. How much is it for a track day? Its something that I want to give a go this year but have no idea about the cost.

well they start from about £80-90 ,but if you do the bigger track like don and brands your payup wards of £160 to £210 , well worth every penny mate ,my firat was at don ,started in the novice group on then wot was my road bike ,enjoyed it that much ,turned the bike in to a track day never looked back , your prob better starting at a big track as theres more run off if you get it wrong and the tracks so much wider if you get your line wrong ,some friends and i stayed in the novice for about 3 track days , you soon pick up speed and move up a group ,now we all ways ride the fast group and take it very seriously ,got tyre warmers and all run on race slicks ,its amazing wot your bike can do ,you would never get any where near that on the road ,,the thing to do is do wot your happy with ,build up your speed as the day goes on ,dont try and keep up with others lol , try it mate your never look back , and if things do go wrong ,the ambulance is there in secs ,hope i have talked you in to doing your first track day your love it ,
three of us are off to spain in feb for 4 days on track in the sun shine ,only cost £450 and they ship your bike out there hotel all in cant wait ,did the same trip 5 years ago ,top time ,90 guys on bikes 3 groups then open pit lane ,so you can just ride as much as you like , end of the day 90 guys all in the same bar ,talking bikes over some beer ,life good
