How many of you opted for a dedicated bike over a stock bike in the beginning?


I am not 100% sure how many track days I will be able to make it to this year, thinking 3 or 4 realistically. This is mostly because I don't want to put all my available cash into this hobby since I want to keep maxing out my retirement accounts. I could start with a stock 2013ish bike for 6k and still be able to ride it to work. Or drop 8k for a built bike that would only see the track. Here is a write up on the track bike.2013 Yamaha R64 track days since full rebuildOhlins 30 mm fork cartridgesPenske triple adjustable race shockForks and shock just servicedDynojet PC and secondary injector PCDynojet dual map switchPremium pump and MR12 mapDynojet quick shifterECU flashedKeyless ignitionwoodcraft engine coverswoodcraft clip onsCRG brake leverHot bodies race fairing with superbike tailAttack racing rearsetsracing brake padsgoodridge brake linesfuel tank slidershindle full race exhaust systemmotion pro race throttle/cablesPSR steering stabilizerFrame slidersAttack racing stand liftsRear stand inclMichelin Power cup evos with one track weekendThis bike was built and tuned by Pro line race prep not hacked together by weekend warriors!

Needs nothing just go ride!$7999.00 OBOThe owner of the company I work for races and is telling me to go with the dedicated race bike but at the same time I am trying to be as financially responsible as I can. I know track fees and consumables are going to really add up.Another option is to get a 2007-9 with 20k on the clock for 4k and if something were to happen to it I wouldn't care. What would you do? I feel like a dedicated track bike would be really hard to sell if I didn't use it enough. At the same time if I wreck the stock bike and get race fairings and get it to the level of the 8K bike mentioned above, I would be in it for way more than 8k. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/aqjz67/how_many_of_you_opted_for_a_dedicated_bike_over_a/?utm_source=ifttt
