I had mine to several track days but no races. It was a total blast but weight and keeping tires on it for more than (1) session makes it difficult. For some reason the rear tire would only last about 20 minutes, Michelin slicks too...........

that sp12 I have seen them I wish I could understand it. I had my zx12 as my trackday bike for 6 month's "about 8 trackday total" and people "the instructors" where amazed how good it handled there

I keep hearing that kinda a big bike to have out here but after that session and me and the instructor racing around the track "he was on a stock 07 zx10" he came up to my pit and said that thing handle awsome
