Hello everyone,
I’ve been kicking around this idea the more I ride my ZX6R (new owner). I bought this bike with the intentions of it being converted to a track only bike. But the more I ride it and get used to it the more I am falling in love with it and the ZX6R platform. I bought this bike new and love the looks and just overall feel and performance. But overall for long trips more than an hour being a super sport I have to take breaks every like hour to hour and a half.
It got me thinking that if the clip one were raised to more of the height of Aprilia Tuono the bike might be just as comfortable but far cheaper maintenance. It would be sacrificing some performance track wise but I was curious how much would it affect it? As I have seen people do it.
Since my cousin offered to sell me his old ZX6R for cheap (not best condition though). For shits and giggles I’ve checked marketplace and realize I could find a higher mileage use one to fully dedicate to track use. While making my current one more comfortable for longer trips.
I have past experience racing cars legitimately but will admit bikes are a new and exciting chapter for me. Was hoping to get some opinions and possible experience with this idea.
Thanks ahead of time for any feedback positive or negative with this idea.
