Believe it or not, I don't want an old bike.
hock: Mechanical failure just seems to have more dire consequences on a bike, and fairly new ones are cheap enough for me to consider. I do like the old tech (air cooled, carbed), but I want it on a fairly new bike. stevegula Wrote:yea, but how often do you see them at track days? Hell, the top speed disparity alone makes it dangerous for them to be out there.
If this statement is true, maybe I'm not interested in tracking a bike. Never once on track have I thought that the turbo porsche closing in on me with a 50MPH difference was just going to rear end me. Is this really a problem on a bike when there's SO much more room to pass safely? Hopefully there are at least a few schools that are run safely enough to teach the participants to prevent such a thing?
