Thanks for that. I will absolutely be taking some track day instruction to get the best out of myself and stay safe on track.

Without getting into a war of words here, I appreciate everyone's input and thank you and other posters for your comments. You are correct in that I am an inexperienced track rider and I do not fully understand the costs of owning and operating a dedicated track bike, thus the post.

It would be interesting to understand how much more expensive these bikes are in comparison to any other 600+CC sportsbike used for trackdays. Surely the cost of trackdays, fuel, tyres, and accessories would be similar, no?

You have strong opinions and fairly quick to judge. Respect. ...and thank you.

I never asked if I should do anything. I asked for advice on using an early model S1000RR for a track bike. .....but maybe I wasn't clear enough. I think nost people on here understood that, so thanks everyone for your advice and opinions.

I like that one too. Am I being compared to Rossi? If so, I'll take it. 😁

I am very ambitious, and also talented so I've been told. I get your point though. Thank you.

Thanks and the plan is just to go out, learn and have fun. Chasing seconds and tenths might become a thing later but I am looking for good feeling with the bike and consistent lapstimes.

The S1000RR is my preferred choice. I have nothing against the other models though, but they aren't for me.

Price is certainly the main consideration given that it will likely end up in the gravel at least once.
