So, I have a question regarding choices of bikes. I obviously have my '05 ZX6R for my daily street bike, but for a number of reasons, I'm looking into trying to find a bike that I could make into a track bike.
My main question is this: Given that I ride a 600 all day long on the street, would I be disappointed with a 250 on the track?
I only ask because, at least around here lately, they are significantly easier to find and are stupidly cheap if they aren't in good condition (which is what I'm looking for). 600's, on the other hand, seem to still hold quite a lot of value even if they are nearly completely trashed...so...
What thoughts do you folks have?
PS - for reference, I'm looking at potentially getting a 250 (either Ninja or CBR) for a couple hundred bucks in mechanically good, but cosmetically poor condition - seems like a deal I'm going to have a hard time passing up unless everyone here says I really need a 600 for the track :O
