[QUOTE="Phallen, post: 8970428, member: 24185"] I think you misunderstood me. The purpose of going to the track, is to really learn how the bike responds, and how to respond to the bike, road, and conditions. It is NOT to bring the track onto the streets. But there is a hell of a lot to be said by learning, in a much safer environment, proper control of a bike. Even though a lot of experienced riders are riding fast on the mountain, most of them are doing so by riding under there comfort peak. For instance, regardless of what bike he's on, if he gets into a corner a little too hot for his experience, he knows to just look and stay calm, but to NOT target fixate and cross the line in the middle of a blind corner. Riding track helps you learn this, and learn the mindset. And for the most part, most of the people I know who track their bikes, actually slow down on the street. I know I have. Simply because it's just not worth it. So my point is this: riding on the track makes you a FAR better, safer, controlled, and skilled motorcyclist on the street. But in order be that type of rider, you need the right tools to learn the skills. Anything 600 or above is viciously fast, just too much to really learn on the street without guidance. The kid needs more skill, not more bike. He can up the bike later. [/QUOTE]
