I'm new to track days but have been properly bitten! I got myself a cheap 748b track prep'd it and away I went. I'm gonna do another season on it next yr but my thoughts are already on what to get next/what to do to the 748.. I'm 6"2 and 90kg and was thinking about a bit more power and some more 'space'. I'd also like more adjustment from the suspension. So what's the best Duke for track days (bearing in mind cost as I'm sure a 1199R is great but not very realistic)? 853 with full ohlins? 749s? 748r? I'm probably looking at 5k max but would interested in what others use any as importantly -why?
You might even find a track prepared 848 for 5k too and as if by magic http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161397974944&globalID=EBAY-GB&alt=web
You beat me to it 999s with nice shiny gold ohlins. Behind that nose cone is the lights etc so one minute track bike 10 mins later road bike. 2 for the price of one Even the Dog loves it
